This year, I want to develop awareness for carer's of parents on campus so that those of you know where to go for a helping head. How I will do this:
• Firstly, by encouraging this engagement I must gain awareness of the department we have here. Last year, I did not even know that there was a parent-carer representative on campus. To achieve this: raising fundraisers and campus signposts to get acknowledgement.
• Secondly, I am here to explore different paths which work for you and your education. As I am part of the board of education here on campus I can liaise with them to explain your circumstances enough so that it may alleviate the work pressure. Similarly, I will be open to conversation via the parent-carer email. I will make sure to answer to all of you that reach out to me. Your voice is sure to be heard through my email text chain.
• I am a committee member of many societies on campus (law society etc) so I want to work closely with them and their departments to express the above and work closer with you guys to make sure your voice is heard. This year I want to make sure the parent-carer representative is really seen so it can be held as a safety net that you can contact when you need.
