Low take-up of central support service shows funds should also go to universities, say vice-chancellors in England and Wales
Universities are calling on the government to provide extra funding for their student mental health services, as new figures show low uptake of a scheme launched by the higher education regulator for England during the pandemic.
Vice-chancellors say services on campuses need more money because demand for already overstretched support has increased up to fourfold during the Covid-19 crisis.
