Your questions answered: Q&A materials for students

19 Nov 2022

Industrial action relating to pensions is expected to take place in universities across the UK from 24 November 2022. A suite of Q&A materials for employers contain answers to some of the key questions students will be asking before and during the strikes.

Topics covered include: why the strikes are happening; when and how long for; information for international students, those with disabilities, and those with caring and employment responsibilities; and how to claim compensation if needed.

The main national Q&A document can be downloaded below. A local version that can be customised by individual institutions is also available. Contact info@universitiesuk.ac.uk for further information.

Additional materials and formats are also available to help communications teams at the universities impacted by industrial action provide their students with all the information they might need:

For suggestions on how to use these materials, as well as links to different file formats, please see the Your Questions Answered toolkit.
