Making 2010 the year for supporting student parents & carers!

We're working on launching a campaign which will begin in March 2010. If you'd like to know more or get involved why not drop us a line? We're also organising training and services to improve the quality of the educational experience for student parents and carers.

A work in progress

We are still in the process of updating and expanding on our publications and databases amongst other things. Eventually we hope to work from a properly organised website or at least find a better layout for organising large amounts of information. Please don't hesitate to ask for a free copy, or list, of publications, posters or information on other services.

Our e-mail address: studentparents@googlemail.com

Anyone can join our online community at: http://groups.google.com/group/studentparents
This is a place to exchange knowledge, skills & ideas. It is also social space where students with dependants can meet & keep in touch with each other.
To post a topic directly onto the online community via email, send it to: studentparents@googlegroups.com
