Mental health and wellbeing surveys

AoC mental health and wellbeing surveys

This survey provides baseline data about the challenges faced and approaches taken by colleges to address mental health and wellbeing, to inform our members and our stakeholders. The survey is comprised of questions relating to the policy and delivery areas under the following themes:

• student mental health and wellbeing (including student suicide)
• data collection and use
• counselling and college support
• workforce mental health and wellbeing
• college strategy and investment
• external provision and partnerships
• transition from school to college to university

For this years survey, we separated questions into two surveys. One survey focused on student mental health and was distributed to college senior mental health leads to complete. The second survey focused on workforce mental health and was distributed to college HR directors to complete.
