Our university experience is shaped by our tutors. Their tireless work ethic, their genuine care for students, and the invaluable contributions they make to our learning experiences cannot be overlooked or undervalued. Yet, the recent actions of Edge Hill University suggest otherwise. The proposed redundancies in the Creative Arts department are not just an attack on these dedicated professionals; it's an attack on our education.

Edge Hill University is renowned for its exceptional Creative Arts programs, thanks to the dedication and expertise of its lecturers. However, this reputation is now under threat due to planned redundancies that will severely impact both staff and students alike.

The UK's creative industries contributed £111.7 billion to the economy in 2018 (source: UK Government), demonstrating how vital these sectors are for economic growth and job creation. By reducing staff in this area, Edge Hill University risks undermining not only its own reputation but also the future prospects of its students.

We urge Edge Hill University management to reconsider these unfair redundancies immediately and demonstrate their commitment to providing a high-quality education that values every member of staff's contribution.
