Enabling Themes Actions

The Enabling Themes apply to all University of Exeter students and colleagues and cover areas that span all of the Domains in the University Mental Health Charter. These include University strategy, student voice and participation, inclusivity, cohesive support, and research and innovation. The Enabling Themes are very broad in scope and so our associated actions are also quite broad, covering all areas of the themes.
