First university in the UK to have a policy for student carers
Student Carers ‘first’ at Glasgow University
The University of Glasgow is to formally launch its policy for student carers, the first of its kind for a UK university, at an event on Tuesday 6th December. The policy was instigated and developed by the University’s Students’ Representative Council (GUSRC).
The Student Carers’ Policy supports students who, at any point during their studies at the University, provide emotional or practical support to a relative, close friend, or neighbour, who is unable to manage alone. Also contained is guidance for University staff who have a role in advising or supporting students who already are or who anticipate becoming carers.
