On our weekly phone-in, we're asking: "How easy is it to be involved in your child's mental health when they're at university?"

British universities say they risk 'failing a generation' unless students get better mental health care. The numbers disclosing a mental illness when they arrive at university have risen five fold in ten years. 140 students killed themselves in 2016.

Bristol University has a particular problem. Ten students at Bristol have taken their own lives in the past 18 months with three deaths in the last three weeks.

One of the biggest problems for parents is that at eighteen, students are adults in the eyes of the law. Parents have lost their right to know their child's state of heath.
James Murray is trying to change that. He's speaking at a conference in Buckingham this week - it's the Festival of Higher Education 2018. He wants the people who run universities to sign up to a ten-point suicide prevention strategy.
