Dear Kingston University,

Please send me the following information for each of the academic years 2013-2018. For the first four questions I would like this data in spreadsheet format (CSV or XLS).

1. How many support service staff have been employed with a mental health remit (e.g. counselling, wellbeing) in each of the last 5 academic years. If a breakdown is not available for mental health staff, please provide a total for the closest possible category.

2. Budget for mental health support for each of the last 5 academic years, and where possible a breakdown on how that money is allocated, e.g. staff, marketing, equipment etc.

3. Number of students seeking mental health support in each of the last 5 academic years

4. Average waiting time for mental health support in each of the last 5 academic years

5. Any internal reports or reviews relating to mental health provision over the last 5 years.

Yours faithfully,
