Following the closure of the Stand Alone charity earlier this year, the responsibility of supporting estranged students in higher education now falls to each of us in the widening participation sector.

Working with our members, NEON has established a NEW Estranged Students Working Group to provide a platform for members to share best practice, shape the national agenda and drive forward the development of support for estranged students in higher education. Join the group’s inaugural meeting to learn more and help shape its direction for the future.
