Athena SWAN in SHW
SHW maternity and paternity information "pack"
Welcome to our information page for staff or students in School of Health and Wellbeing who are shortly to commence maternity, paternity, shared parental or adoption leave.
Here you will find a range of links to resources and guidelines that you may find useful either before, during or after your period of leave, including some specific to SHW.
Please get in touch with SHW admin or our Athena Swan maternity, paternity and carer working group if there is any other information you need. (Please also let us know if any of our useful links are no longer working.)
