Engaging Students - What We Learnt

• The new LGBT student focus group were not successful as a way of engaging student in short time span, when the ground work has not been laid. It should have been an area for development once the project was completed

• Being an adult and with the majority of part time students traditional ways of engaging with students were not affective. We haven’t found a winning formula for this

• Engaging in the classroom was underutilised – we were lucky to find one student who attended a course the programme manager became a major contributor to the project

• We had wanted to create two forums to meet once a term throughout the project, one for staff and one for students. The Student forum only met once and had 2 attendees and the staff forum only met once and had 8 attendees but interest from 26 staff. A meeting of 8 staff took place to discuss the collection of LGBT Data
