Mental Health in Higher Education Hub
Enhancing learning and teaching about mental health across the disciplines
Ian Light Award
The late Ian Light, service user consultant and lecturer in health and social care at City University London, was a founder member of the Developers of User and Carer Involvement in Education (DUCIE) network.
This award, in Ian's name, aimed to support and nurture user and carer involvement development workers employed in UK higher education, enhancing their effectiveness and capacity to effect change.
The award was open to anyone involved in supporting the development of infrastructure for user and carer involvement in higher education institutions. Priority was given to applications from workers for whom this is the sole focus or main purpose of their role.
The award aimed to support collaborative projects developed in partnership between two development workers and was for work in pairs.
Five of the pairs who received awards wrote up their projects for the benefit of others - see below.
