    I feel the students would benefit if there was a wellbeing person/team at all times in every campus and in halls this way there would be someone to see instantly if a need occurs.

8:33am on 10 Oct 19 Definately a good idea. Also having a quiet area in halls or campus. There's not much space in the red zone in the library and the noise from the Amber and Green Zones make it really loud at times - especially if you need a quiet space to chill for a bit.

12:09pm on 18 Oct 19 Agree with this, I struggle with long term mental health problems and had to stop going to my wellbeing meetings as the travel & extra time it took to get to it from my campus made me more stressed than it was worth.

8:56am on 28 Nov 19 Yesterday this idea was taken to Student Summit and voted on by over 100 students. I am very pleased to say that your idea was passed, with 58 students voting for this idea. Congratulations!!! What this means is that we, the Union of Students, will attempt to action this idea as soon as possible for the remainder of this academic year and a further 3 years. Whilst this doesn’t mean the idea will necessarily become a reality, it means we will do our best to make it happen over this time period, encouraging the University to take action on your idea to make it a reality. We will post updates on our website and our full time officers will give updates at our Scrutiny Panels (which happen 6 times per year – check out our Facebook events to see when the next panel you can attend is.) If you have any questions about any part of this, please contact me at laura.maher@derbyunion.co.uk and thank you again for using your voice to make a change and allowing the Union to represent your interests.
