UKAT, the United Kingdom Advising and Tutoring association, is a learned society of professional practitioners and researchers interested in advancing the scholarship and practice of student advising and personal tutoring in Higher Education in the UK. We advance the field through our conferences, symposia, workshops, support for original research, peer-reviewed academic publications, accreditation of practice, professional courses, and resources.
In this webinar we will consider the findings of a national research project involving 41 student-parents from 14 UK HEIs. The findings reveal that we (institutions, access and participation teams, departments and individual academics) must do better for our student-parents, who - whilst not currently included in the OfS Equality of Opportunity Risk Register - are at risk of failure due to lack of academic and pastoral support. The session will share with members two research-informed, evidence-based toolkits aimed at empowering student-parents to take control of their university journey and giving personal tutors the tools to support student-parents to succeed.
