Accommodation Matters is back for a new season, bringing sector experts together to discuss the Higher Education sector’s key issues through the lens of student accommodation.

In February, Unite Students launched Living Black At University, the first report into the experiences of Black students in student accommodation; you can download the report here. This episode of Accommodation Matters features the highlights of our launch event, including an overview of findings, panel discussion and Q&A session.

Introduced by Jenny Shaw, Higher Education External Engagement Director at Unite Students, and chaired by HEPI director Nick Hillman, the panel features sector experts:

• Sam Kingsley, Senior EDI & Wellbeing Manager at Unite Students

The Living Black at University launch event was run in partnership with the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI) on 3rd February 2022 and can be viewed in full here.
