Wellbeing Spend at the University of Manchester

The request was successful.

Dear University of Manchester,

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I’d like to make a request regarding information on wellbeing services.

I’d like to request information regarding:

- The total spend on staff and student wellbeing services (or the equivalent department) during the 2018/19 academic year.

- Are student mental health services funded by the total identified above? Y/N

- If not, could you please identify which departments are responsible for student mental health support?

I’d kindly request that the information is sent digitally, in a spreadsheet format; .csv or .xls file types would be ideal.

Yours faithfully,

Jamie Dixon

Dear Jamie,

 

Thank you for your request for information received by The University of
Manchester on 20 November 2019 which was as follows (numbered for ease):

 

1.      The total spend on staff and student wellbeing services (or the
equivalent department) during the 2018/19 academic year.

 

2.      Are student mental health services funded by the total identified
above? Y/N

 

3.      If not, could you please identify which departments are
responsible for student mental health support?

 

The University has now considered your request and we can advise as
follows.

 

1.      We do not have a “Staff and Student Wellbeing Services” department
or equivalent. We do have a Counselling Service which provides sessions
for both staff and students. The total spend of the Counselling Service in
2018/19 was £1,088,411. In addition to this, you can find information on
staff wellbeing services and events online at

2.      Yes, University provided mental health services are met from this,
in addition we contribute to the Greater Manchester Mental Health service
for significant MH difficulties. This is a partnership between the 5
Higher Education institutions in Greater Manchester and Greater Manchester
Health and Social Care Partnership. Our contribution is £277,160 over the
2 year pilot.

3.      N/a.

 

I trust this information is of use to you.

 

Kind regards

 

Sharon
