Student engagement strategy
These pages set out our strategy for engaging students between 2020 and 2023 and our priorities for student engagement in 2022-23.
We published our strategy in 2020, but since then we have seen significant changes.
Students' priorities have changed, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have also published a new strategy for the organisation as a whole covering 2022 to 2025.
Following these changes, we have revised priorities for student engagement in 2022-23.

Our priority projects
- Help students and students’ union officers enhance the quality and outcomes of their education
- Engage students to understand the issues we should focus on to protect their interests effectively
- Involve students and students’ unions in shaping our regulatory approach to freedom of speech
- Continue to work with students to ensure universities and colleges act to prevent and respond to incidents of harassment and sexual misconduct
- Support the work of groups funded by the OfS on student issues relating to equality, diversity, and inclusion
- Engage students in our work to understand and share what works in supporting student mental health and wellbeing
- Develop a training package for student representatives to effectively engage and shape our regulatory processes.
We use 'students’ unions' as shorthand for students’ unions, associations, and guilds in England. For our student engagement work, we also seek to partner with student groups that are not formal students’ unions.
