Parents awarded £50,000 after daughter killed herself say they've had no apology

A couple whose daughter committed suicide at university say they have still not received an apology - and officials have 'trivialised' her death. Bob and Margaret were awarded £50,000 after physics student Natasha, 20, tragically took her own life in April 2018.

A senior judge recently found Bristol University liable to 'multiple breaches' of its legal duties towards her. Natasha had been due to give a presentation in front of 300 people but she couldn't cope and was found dead later that day.

A court found the university did not make reasonable adjustments to Natasha’s assessment in light of her anxiety. It said it therefore discriminated against her under the Equality Act, ultimately leading to her death.
