Launch of website and mentoring service for student parents

A new website Student Parents has been launched for students who are also parents. This website has been developed by a number of organisations, led by BrightsideUNIAID, and funded by the Nuffield Foundation. It aims to offer information, advice and guidance in making the transition to higher education, particularly;

• Clear  information about student support
• Budgeting tools and information on financial support
• Advice on time management, childcare options, study skills
• Case studies from other student parents
• Mentoring and a support network

Straight to the Horses Mouth

Mentoring can be a great way to find support and learn from people who want to pass on what they have learnt or are just happy to be someone else you can bounce ideas around with. We have a page on finding mentoring opportunities and have just added Horses Mouth, an easy online mentoring website.
