63: Clause 17, page 20, line 22, at end insert—
“and,
(b) by reference to—
(i) the degree to which the mental health and wellbeing of persons who undertake a higher education course with the institution are sustained and improved while they are attending the institution;
(ii) the quality improvement and response to mental health crises among persons who undertake a higher education course with the institution;
(iii) the pastoral and academic care of students attending the institution.
(5A) In this section “quality improvement” has the same meaning as in the report by The King’s Fund, Quality improvement in mental health, published in 2017.”
Member’s explanatory statement
The purpose of this amendment is to ensure that higher education institutions should be evaluated on the basis of their care for students as well as purely academic measures.
