star this property answer text <p>The University Mental Health Charter announced in June 2018 will drive up standards in promoting student and staff mental health and wellbeing. The Charter, which will reward institutions that deliver improved student mental health outcomes, will develop in an iterative process, shaped by co-production with students, staff and partner organisations.</p><p>71 per cent of universities do not have an explicit strategy for mental health provision although 94 per cent of higher education institutions (HEIs) report an increase in demand for counselling services over the past five years. In some HEIs, up to one in four students are using, or are waiting to use, counselling services.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>As in previous years, the allocated budget for Resource Allocation Budget (RAB) expenditure was published in the DfE Annual Report and Accounts 2017/18, which can be accessed here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dfe-consolidated-annual-report-and-accounts-2017-to-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dfe-consolidated-annual-report-and-accounts-2017-to-2018</a> . The budget for RAB expenditure is part of the depreciation figure and is shown as c.£3.9 billion for 2018/19 and c.£4.3 billion in 2019/20.</p><p> </p><p>The 2018/19 budget and future budgets will be reviewed as part of the annual estimates process and confirmed in the published estimates documents. No budget has been allocated for 2020-21, this will be agreed as part of the next spending review.</p><p> </p><p>This follows the department’s statistical release on student loan forecasts published on 28 June 2018, which showed the RAB charge for higher education loans is expected to be 45% under the new policy: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/719817/Student_loan_forecasts_2017-18.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/719817/Student_loan_forecasts_2017-18.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p>The cost of the system is a conscious investment in young people and required to make higher and further education widely available, achieving the government’s objectives of increasing the skills in the economy and ensuring access to university for all with the potential to benefit. We have added to that investment recently by freezing tuition fees for academic years 2018/19 and 2019/20, and raising the repayment threshold from £21,000 to £25,000 for the financial year 2018/19.</p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>Social sciences have a central role to play in contributing to the UK economy and society, and the challenges set out in the industrial strategy. UKRI through the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and Research England have a range of mechanisms to help deliver benefits from social science, including support for commercialisation;</p><p> </p><ul><li>ESRC funding for impact activities from research projects can be requested via their “Pathways to Impact”. (<em>Data from ResearchFish shows that 29 spinouts from ESRC funding have been registered with Companies House between 2010 and 2017.</em>)</li><li>ESRC also funds Impact Acceleration Accounts (IAAs) at 25 universities to accelerate the impact of research.</li><li>Research England support via Higher Education Innovation Funding (HEIF) (currently £210 million per year) for English universities for a range of knowledge exchange activities. Each institution decides how to deploy this according to their own strategic priorities, some will support commercialisation of social sciences.</li><li>Research England has also awarded £5m from the Connecting Capability Fund to London School of Economics, in partnership with the Universities of Manchester and Sussex, for “ASPECT” (A Social sciences Platform for Entrepreneurship, Commercialisation and Transformation) to develop a “globally leading social sciences commercialisation ecosystem.” This expects to create new companies to improve productivity and solve the most pressing social challenges.</li></ul><p> </p><p>In addition, a number of calls announced in Wave 2 of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund have included and embedded social science, and UKRI will ensure that there are opportunities for social science to contribute to solving the ambitious challenges set out in the Fund.</p>
