Early day motion · EDM 423 · 22 Jun 2026

Safety of university students

Tabled by Peter Lamb (Labour) 8 signatures

The motion

That this House expresses concern at the risks to safety facing university students in towns and cities across the United Kingdom; recognises that recent research has suggested that one in three students will be the victim of a crime while at university and that, according to the Office for Students, one in four students experience sexual harassment during their time in further education; further recognises the findings from Universities UK’s ‘changing the culture report’ which calls for university leaders to dedicate appropriate resources to tackling violence against women, harassment and hate crime by implementing an institution-wide approach and by adopting an evidence-based bystander intervention programme.
