An Update from Me...

02/03 - So, last week for me was all about finessing the video awareness for Counsellors in Training, as a follow-up from my last update, ensuring the message is clear, visible, reaches and supports all students. The London trip with the Health and Social Care department was heartwarming, with mixed emotions, as we explored the history of racism and slavery in the UK and expanded the anti-racism manifesto. Those conversations weren’t just reflective; they are shaping tangible commitments that strengthen inclusion and belonging beyond the classroom. I can’t wait for you all to see the piece. One new update: my manifesto on the opportunity for all students to be able to provide feedback on their university experience (all round) is finally kicking off, building a more responsive and accountable system. Sending you lots of progress as it develops! 😉 Click here for previous updates.
