It is thought that three in five people in society will care for another at some point in their life. At ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ, we recognise the very real issue of having to maintain a full or part time job whilst caring for another individual.
The University defines a carer as someone who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs assistance as a result of illness, frailty or disability. We recognise that someone may care for another for a short period of time, for example, to recover from a debilitating illness, for longer periods of time or intermittently where an illness or disability has periods of remission.

The Parents' and Carers' Network (P&CN) aims to support the working lives of colleagues who also have off-campus responsibilities, looking after children or after adults unable to care for themselves due to old age or a disability. Please visit their website at /pcn.
