Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, with reference to Protecting What Matters (CP 1540), published on 9 March, which student groups, organisations and bodies will co-design the Cohesion Charter; and on what basis will they be selected for this purpose.

Answer

The Cohesion Charter will be co‑designed with students in collaboration with a partnership of the department, the University of Salford and the National Union of Students.

The Charter will set out the core principles that matter to students in building cohesive and sustainable communities. These principles will inform student behaviour, the review of institutional policies and civic participation.

An advisory group will be established to support delivery, oversee timelines and facilitate collaboration across the higher education sector at a national level.
