Supporting students. Increased fees may bring a significant new challenge in attracting students from lower income households, and therefore this agreement contains proposals for a very generous package of financial support for students from less well-off families.1 Oxford’s collegiate system provides every undergraduate with the bedrock of their university career. College tutors guide and support students, overseeing their intellectual and personal development. Tutorials are delivered in colleges, and most students live in their college for at least two years of their course. Each college offers an extensive network of welfare services, ranging from student peer group support, to advisers, chaplains and counsellors, and has a doctor and a nurse associated with it. This is complemented by the services provided by the University, as outlined in paragraphs 70-79. 1 The information contained in this agreement regarding tuition charges relates to students eligible for student support under the Education (Student Support) Regulations 2009 and entering into education for the first time in 2012-13. It therefore excludes students from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The information regarding bursaries relates to students settled in the UK and ordinarily resident in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and to EU nationals ordinarily resident in the EEA or Switzerland. The University will need to consider its response to the funding of medical and PGCE students when more information is available. It will also be necessary further to consider carefully the position of part-time undergraduate level provision at Oxford, once future arrangements for funding this mode of provision, and associated student support measures, have become clear.

Supporting students. Each school/worksite shall maintain current information on students with Safe Intervention Plans and Behaviour Support Plans. The information will be provided to all Teachers prior to the beginning of their teaching assignment.

Supporting students. Who Cares at City? Project 5.5.1 City is committed to improving our provision, anticipating and responding to change in the sector. It is becoming increasingly understood that there is no typical student experience of Higher Education. Our students come from a range of backgrounds and deal with a range of challenges. 5.5.2 In line with previous commitments to OFFA, we have begun to extend our support and provision for care leavers to other young vulnerable groups who may need help. This includes financial and accommodation support, priority access for services, and a Designated Member of Staff to advocate on students’ behalf. We are now supporting students who are estranged from their families or those with caring responsibilities themselves. Work may also include supporting Asylum Seekers, children of Asylum Seekers, unaccompanied minors or those with limited leave to remain. We recognise that these students often face similar challenges to those of care leavers or would benefit from dedicated support. So they will be prioritised for the same or similar support that care leavers receive. This will require mindful, cohesive work. As part of this we will make the Stand Alone Pledge, which guides activity and provides a framework for students estranged from their families in the same way that the Buttle UK Quality Mark for care leavers did for students from care backgrounds. The practices put in place as part of our Buttle UK delivery will continue, and will inform our commitment to Stand Alone and to our students. 5.5.3 We will do this through a branded scheme which aims to increase engagement with the range of support offered. By having a greater visibility across City, and in clear communications with potential applicants, we will be able to better identify vulnerable students in order to better help. 5.5.4 The project will be developed over 2017/18. We will create a working group involving staff from across City to do this. The group will collaborate across Schools and Professional Services to create a sustainable, long-term support plan for vulnerable students. They will act as champions of the scheme in their School or Service and will be essential in forming a system of support for vulnerable students, liaising with the central Designated Member of Staff to ensure consistency and clarity. We will encourage positive and proactive involvement through the programme, rather than singling out students for meeting a particular status.

Supporting students. Teachers’ in-person contact with students will be limited to scheduled class meetings. Any additional meetings or interactions with students will be conducted remotely, or may be in person if pre-scheduled with teacher permission.

Supporting students. Oxford proposes to continue its very generous bursary provision in order to continue to address the challenge of attracting students from lower-income households and supporting them while on course. This upfront support for living costs will enable students to prioritise their academic studies and to make the most of the range of supplementary extra- curricular opportunities available. The Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx Scholarship Programme, launched in 2012- 13, is testament to Xxxxxx’s commitment to ensuring that all students with the talent to succeed at Oxford can thrive here (paragraphs 90-91).
