4.1 Getting started with Going Higher
The Going Higher for Student Carers: Recognition Award encourages universities to adopt a sustainable, whole-institution approach to identify, support and report on student carers. The award is currently funded by the Scottish Funding Council and, as we saw in Section 1, they have built the award into their Outcome Agreements with universities.
In this video we meet Steven, Student Success Advisor at Heriot Watt University, who talks about the benefits of the Going Higher process and the partnerships they developed as a result. He also suggests using your best asset: student carers.
