Responding to the cost of living crisis: learning from complaints

We have published guidance on responding to the cost of living crisis, drawing on learning from complaints.

The current cost of living crisis is causing a great deal of anxiety across the country and the impact of rising energy, food and transport costs is having a significant impact on many students. The guidance we have published draws together some relevant learning from complaints that we hope will be helpful to students, those who support them and higher education providers as they all try to manage the impact of cost of living pressures.
