Fitness to Study panel training - for chairs and panel members
Ready-to-run live online half-day session, at a time convenient to your team
£995 + VAT
For up to 25 participants
In this half-day online course, we explore the purpose of Fitness to Study panels, how we should plan and prepare for a panel meeting, how a panel should consider evidence about the student, and how we can respond to tricky situations that arise during the panel meeting itself.

Fostering students' self-reliance using practical coaching skills
Ready-to-run live online 2-hour session, at a time convenient to your team
£895 + VAT
For up to 25 participants
We know, from our own experience, that it is more empowering if we can do things for ourselves. Your team can help a student to rely on their own resources to solve a particular problem or address a particular issue, rather than us just swooping in and solving things for the student. This practical 2-hour online course will explore ways in which we can help students do things for themselves and rely less on us and more on themselves – a really important life skill.

Coordinating actions and providing support following a student death

All universities need to have clear procedures in place for responding to the death of a student. This half-day online course explores the key aspects of a university’s response to a student death – from how we can best support students during the first few hours following a death through to how we provide longer-term support for everyone who needs it.

It is not easy to support a family, on behalf of your university or institution, at what is inevitably an incredibly difficult time for the family. This half-day online course focuses on the whole process of family liaison following a student death - from making the first telephone call to the family through to meeting the family in person and providing the family with longer-term support.
