Share your views on how to develop policies on maternity, adoption and shared parental leave
Our campaign on The Hive is full of activity, with staff from across the University sharing their views on how to develop policies on maternity, adoption and shared parental leave.
To date, the campaign has received:
- 27 ideas
- 41 comments

The top three ideas submitted to The Hive will be collated by Gemma Dale, HR Policy and Engagement Manager, and discussed at the Working Families Group.
The top three ideas are focused on the following topics:
- Remote working/ working from home
- Equal job opportunities for part-time staff
- Increased paternity leave
Remember to get involved on The Hive and share your ideas, comments and votes.
At the University we aim to offer leading policies and activities to support our working parents so that they can continue to work alongside their family commitments. Your feedback is vital as the University reviews maternity, adoption and shared parental leave – as well as additional support arrangements and initiatives.
