Through our work and research, we have put together a series of resources that we hope will help new, existing and future parents navigate their experience in parenthood whilst at Northumbria
Learn about what parental leave policies you can access at Northumbria and read about how others have made it work for them.
Get help navigating what financial support is available and how to budget before, during and after parental leave.
