How do we navigate the relationship between students and their university when communicating on difficult topics?
This session brings together case studies from the central Student Communications team at the University of Sheffield and from the University of Manchester Students’ Union to explore best practice and make practical recommendations on how we centre student voice and experience in our communications during times of crisis.
Following the presentation, a short Q&A will facilitate broader discussion on the theme of communicating difficult messages to students.
