Mental health issues are on the rise across the UK higher education sector. The majority of technical staff are in student facing roles and whilst their technical expertise and practical support is an essential part of the teaching and learning experience, the frontline nature of their roles means that they are also providing important but perhaps unrecoginsed pastoral support for students. A collaborative report undertaken by the Technican's commitment in partnership with the Science Council, IOP, RSB, RSC, University of Nottingham and the University of Liverpool identifies and highlights the role that technicians play in supporting Student's mental health and wellbeing. The report offers a number of recommendations to the higher education sector, individual employers and to technicians themselves.
