  • Paternity leave policy
  • Student pregnancy, maternity, paternity and adoption policy
  • Carers and Parents Network
  • Infant feeding rooms - the University provides facilities to support students, staff and visitors who wish to express milk in the workplace. There are two breastfeeding/milk expressing/infant feeding rooms on campus. These are available to all staff, students and visitors.
