Information on how the University of Sunderland's Carers Staff Network has run between 2021-22.
The Carers Staff Network is a new group, having previously been a part of the CAPS (Carers and Parents) Staff Network. It was set up as a way for community members and allies to be socially active.
As of June 2021:
Fiona Jackson
Student Casework Manager
The carers network has only been running for 9 months and along with providing the members with advice on how to navigate power of attorneys, they also celebrated Carers Week. Staff and students were invited to attend a “Caring with Resilience Awareness Workshop” which explored what resilience means including the importance of self-care, stress container, assertiveness and boundaries and some emotional intelligence throughout the session.
We asked the members of the Carers Staff Network their opinions.
We welcome feedback on Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Social Responsibility.
