Many of the University’s staff population have an additional role as a Carer and incorporate this huge responsibility into their standard working week.
Lisa Then from Student Services is collaborating with the University’s Diversity Team to develop a Parent & Carers Network to support and facilitate the working lives of colleagues who are Carers – eg anyone looking after someone under 16 or not able to care for themselves due to old age or disability.
If you are a parent or carer or have an interest in working to improve the lives of Carers, please come along to the next lunchtime session which will be held from 12.00pm – 1.00pm on Wednesday 13th June 2012. Lunch will be provided and a colleague from Professional Services will be speaking about employment law. Please email [email protected] if you wish to attend or are interested in future sessions.
