REF: 66-2302-640627 - Reducing Kitchen Anxiety

Thank you for your comment.

We put a cookbook (nosh books) into the kitchens at the beginning of the year and facilitate some cook-a-longs with nosh books throughout the academic year, this is to help support people flatmates to cook together and with others (virtually). We also facilitate the flatmate agreement meeting at the start of term to help all students discuss their needs for communal living. 

To add; in recognising that such concerns relate to other social situations we are developing approaches to empower/enable students in overcoming challenges, building resilience through our mentoring networks as well as embedded wellbeing delivery which is being piloted in the Foundation Year this year as part of a module called ‘How to be a student’ – if successful we will be keen to roll out next year for all students.
