Wellbeing Spend at the University of Leeds
Dear University of Leeds,
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

equivalent department) during the 2018/19 academic year. See attached – .
