# Parents and Carers Networks

 

The University of Exeter’s Parents and Carers networks are open to all staff and Postgraduate Researchers (PGRs).

Currently, these are primarily online communities where members can start conversations about any parenting, caring, or related questions; ask for advice from other members; and keep up to date with relevant information and policies.

Follow the links to the MS teams sites to join:

In 2024-25 we aim to have internal and external talks on topics chosen by members, online meetings organised by the EDI team, and (where possible) in-person meetings organised by members.
