If you are a parent as well as being a student, this means that you will have a lot to think about, organise and pay for in addition to the everyday concerns of other students. Newcastle University and the Union Society recognise this, and support is available.
Support is provided in a number of ways.
It may be that you do not know what types of childcare are available for children of different ages. You may have some information but be unsure how to decide what is best for your needs and how to set up childcare arrangements. The Childcare Co-ordinator can discuss this all with you to help you decide what is best and what to do about it. You will have to set up your own childcare, as it is a personal matter for each parent. The Childcare Co-ordinator is willing to help you regarding any problems related to childcare.
