Our Student and Staff Engagement Plan is a strategic framework for cultivating meaningful relationships, improving collaboration, and promote a positive and productive learning environment.

At its core, our engagement plan outlines initiatives and actions designed to encourage active involvement from both students and staff—inside and outside the classroom.

Our plan aims to:

• Foster open communication, trust, and mutual respect

• Support well-being and inclusion across all groups

• Enhance learning outcomes and professional development

• Create a sense of belonging in the academic community

By setting clear actions and providing tools for feedback, recognition, and ongoing support, our student and staff engagement plan turns passive participation into shared ownership of the institution's success.

It’s not just about sustainability activities—it’s about shaping a culture where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered.

Here at the University of Bedfordshire, we are committed to embedding the UN SDG's - United Nations Sustainable Development Goals into our teaching, learning, research and operations.

By engaging with our student and staff communities, we empower individual and collective action to support our Sustainability Strategy targets and goals.

We have developed teaching and learning measures to ensure Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and the UN SDG's are embedded in our curriculum.
