Parent and Carers Fortnight

The University and the Staff Parents and Carers Network will be running Parents and Carers Fortnight again from 1 to 16 June 2024. We are offering a programme of events with all staff warmly invited to join us. 

How can I get involved?

There are lots of ways to support Parent and Carers Fortnight at Birmingham. Have a look at all of the events on offer, attend as many as you can and encourage others to do the same. If you are a member of the Parents and Carers Network please wear your Network lanyard during this time.  If you are not a member, consider joining the Parents and Carers Network.

If you are interested and would like to put  on your own event as part of this years programme please submit details via the event form.
