Students with Caring Responsibilities Information
A carer is someone who provides unpaid care to a partner, child, relative, friend or neighbour who could not manage without this help because of frailty, physical or mental illness, addiction or disability. If you are caring for someone whilst studying, we recognise that juggling all of this can be very difficult. Your role as a carer will depend on the person you care for but could include: Practical household tasks (cooking, cleaning, washing up, ironing, dealing with correspondence and financial management) Personal care (bathing, dressing, lifting, administering medication, collecting prescriptions, support to attend medical appointments) Emotional Support (listening, offering advice and friendship, keeping an eye on the person you care for to ensure their personal safety) Disclosure of Carer Status The University actively encourages students to disclose their Carer Status using the opportunity on the UCAS application form or during the enrolment process. Support Package Due to the unpredictable nature and demands of caring roles, students may be provided with a Carers Support Plan that provides leeway in relation to assignment deadlines, tutor contact and attendance but not exams. The plan may consider or suggest adjustments but will not make recommendations around placement support, international visits, field trips or residential requirements as we recognise that these may be difficult to put in place. You may require a Parking Permit in order to ensure you can meet your caring responsibilities. If so please contact Student Advice & Wellbeing for more information. -
