Presentation
The session presents the progress in Wales with the development of a standardised data set for student mental health with all Student Services departments from universities in Wales, including the Open University Wales. This is known as the Severity Index and reason Codes progress or ‘SevRes’.
This has been designed and co-produced with the Welsh higher education providers since 2021, and is now in place in all universities. This year sees the first year of all higher education providers collecting with the same version, with the ability to upload to a new National Dashboard. The Dashboard prototype, built by Cardiff University’s Digital Transformation and Innovation Institute, is currently onboarding the first universities, with the aspiration of all higher education providers uploading ready for the start of the 2025/26 academic year.
