The Nurture-U Compassionate Campus framework identifies three pillars: culture, communication, and community. What does that mean in practice? How do mitigating circumstances systems end up failing the students who need them most? And is it really as simple as putting benches inside buildings?

Three things universities can do right now:

1. Trust your staff to exercise judgement, not just follow protocols
2. Audit your communication: simplify ruthlessly and reduce barriers
3. Invest in community: fund student societies, open more grants

Featuring Dr Nicola Byrom (King's College London), Gareth Hughes (Student Minds), Dr Neil Armstrong (SOAS University of London) and Audrey Fok (University of Exeter). Presented by André Tomlin, The Mental Elf.
