Our consultancy services

The key when bringing in external support – whether for a short-term or longer-term piece of work – is relevant sector experience.  Working with a management consultant only to find that they are using the time with you to learn about the basics of student services provision and higher education is not helpful for you, your team or your budget. 

 

We have managed student services, mental health services and safeguarding duties ourselves and fully understand the pressures and opportunities that face services.

​

We are passionate about the provision of high-quality student support services – services that underpin students’ academic and social success. We believe it is key that these services can quantify and articulate the positive impact they have on the overall performance of the university to which they belong.
