What we do
Plinth House is a training and consultancy company working with universities and other student-focused organisations in the higher education sector. We are passionate about helping people and organisations to deliver excellent support to students.
We deliver training to managers, teams and frontline staff in areas such as managing distressed students, mental health awareness, the management of serious student incidents, safeguarding, coaching skills, and change management. We also work with teams to re-model or review services, draft new policies based on best practice, and deliver ad hoc consultancy support.
