THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS CONTENT RELATING TO SUICIDE WHICH SOME READERS MAY FIND DISTRESSING
S
INCE the results of the inquest into the death of Exeter student, Harry Armstrong-Evans, Exeposé have worked to promote the
petition launched by his parents and raise awareness of student suicide. The petition argues for the implementation of ‘Harry’s Law’, which urges universities to record and publish their annual suicide statistics, and would make it mandatory for coroners to inform universities when a student enrolled in their institution dies by suicide. Over the course of Exeposé’s coverage, we have covered the results of the inquest into Harry’s death, which found the University “failed in their safe-
guarding duties”.Exeposé’ also interviewed Harry’s parents, Alice and Rupert Armstrong Evans. This was extremely important as it gave them the opportunity to share their story and get their message out to the student community. Exeposé are now launching the ‘Student Papers for Harry’s Law’ campaign, alongside, at the time of writing, 21 other student publications from across the country. This campaign will seek to promote the petition set up by Alice and Rupert and also raise awareness about
student suicide across our publications. Exeposé would encourage all our readers to sign the petition for ‘Harry’s Law.’ Universities need to know about student suicides and be held accountable for them. At the moment, student suicide prevention strategies across the UK are not informed by accurate records of actual student suicides, meaning universities don’t have the information they need to prevent these tragedies.
