Bringing Children to the University – UB Policies and Procedures
Through its Children in University Activities Policy, UB recognises that there are occasions when allowing staff and students who are parents/carers/guardians to bring children to a University activity or location assists these staff and students to balance their work/study and caring responsibilities. However, in this Policy UB also recognises that, in a variety of situations, there are reasons why such access may need to be refused or limited.
The accompanying Children in University Activities Procedure has been developed to help UB balance these needs and must be followed when staff or students wish to bring children to University activities.
Through its Breastfeeding of Infants Policy, UB articulates its commitment to policies and practices which support staff and students who wish to continue to breastfeed on their return to work or study.
The accompanying Breastfeeding of Infants Procedure provides a framework for providing support and flexibility for breastfeeding mothers, in their transition back to study or work, and in their roles as parents.
The Manager, Equity and Equal Opportunity can provide advice and assistance in regard to these policies and procedures. Contact us for more information.
