Presentation
The session provides an overview of chaplaincy in the UK higher education sector, drawing on findings from a national study involving 400 Chaplains and local case studies from five institutions. The session will also present students’ perspectives on chaplaincy as a source of faith support and a driver for good interfaith relations on campus. It will highlight the extent of provision across the sector, the value of chaplaincy, and the challenges.
