Scott Brownrigg and leading education contractor Galliford Try have jointly published a new report on the impact that accommodation environments have on the mental health and wellbeing of students.

This timely report summarises a roundtable discussion that took place earlier this year, featuring eighteen wellbeing professionals and representatives from across the higher education sector. These included Alan Percy, Head of Counselling at the University of Oxford, Julian Robinson, Director of Estates at London School of Economics and Fleur Priest-Stephens, Policy Lead & Programme Manager for Welfare at the National Union of Students, together with construction professionals and student accommodation operators (full list below).

The report can be found here and the Galliford Try website. 

We hosted a Webinar on Thursday 18 July where Ian Pratt, Director of our Education sector provided an overview of the report and hosted a Q&A session with Claire Jackson, Education Director, Galliford Try and Alistair Brierley, Project Director, Scott Brownrigg. 

The webinar is now available to watch on demand.
