Join our relaunched Parents’ Network group

07 Sep 2023

We are relaunching our Parents’ Network to coincide with the start of the new academic year

Parents holding children's hands

This group offers colleagues with children of any age the opportunity to meet for peer support. Our network is open to all colleagues who are parents, carers or guardians: including those in same-sex relationships, couples who may have used a surrogate, foster/adoptive parents and those who are a parent or carer in any other capacity. 

The Parents’ Network provides forums for regularly keeping in touch, sharing experiences with other parents or carers, information and resources that parents and their families may benefit from, building contacts or just socialising. 

How to join 

Join us on Teams to hear more from the group and about upcoming events.  

Once you have joined, please tell us what you would like to see from the Parents’ Network so we can best meet the needs of members, including any themed sessions which may be helpful and informative. If you are just looking for peer-to-peer support over an in-person or online coffee, we want to hear that, too.    

We envisage having monthly meet-ups – some in person, some virtual – and alternating days so that these are as accessible as possible for all staff. 

Meetings 

Our September meetings will be: 

  • 10am  on Wednesday, 13 September (in-person) 
  • 10am on Thursday, 14 September (on Teams)
