View the evidence on approaches to widening participation for disadvantaged and underrepresented groups, and on research measuring the impact of student mental health interventions.
Today, TASO has published a new report highlighting the concerning growth of student mental health difficulties, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community. We found that reported mental health challenges have tripled since 2018, which we estimate equates to approximately 300,000 UK undergraduates.
Pete Crowson, Evaluation Manager at TASO, shares how a theory of change (and a shift in mindset) helped him break out of a slump—and why understanding the mechanics of change is just as crucial in student success as it is in personal goals. He also teases a new TASO tool designed to help build a robust Enhanced Theory of Change—without the headache.
TASO is inviting applications from higher education providers for the evaluation of interventions designed to support student success and narrow equality gaps.
