It‘s #UniMentalHealthDay – we’ve recently analysed students’ well-being and mental health.

In January, our Student COVID-19 Insights Survey in England found almost 2 in 3 students’ well-being and mental health had worsened during the pandemic.

ow.ly/90Ay50DPOlH

Many students have found themselves isolating, perhaps in households with others they don’t know well.

More students reported a decline in their well-being and mental health in January (63%) than in the November 2020 survey (57%).

#UniMentalHealthDay

ow.ly/90Ay50DPOlH

For many, university life hasn’t been what they’d hoped.

In January,

- 37% were dissatisfied/very dissatisfied with their academic lives (up 7% on Nov)
- 56% were dissatisfied/very dissatisfied with their social lives (up 3% on Nov)

Despite the global #COVID pandemic, sickness absence from work in the UK reached a record low of 1.8% in 2020, down from 3.1% in 1995 ow.ly/DSwW50DOGUi

#COVID19 has accounted for 14% of all sickness absences since April 2020.

However, measures such as furloughing, social distancing, shielding and more homeworking appear to have helped reduce other causes of absence ow.ly/26wU50DOH1g

Minor illness, which includes coughs and colds, was the main reason for sickness absence in 2020.

This has remained the main reason for sickness absence since the time series began in 1995 ow.ly/rWvm50DOH3U
