Anglia Ruskin campuses are family friendly environments. Here's some further information on breastfeeding on campus, family friendly events, student services that can help you, accommodation, and university funding.
Your Students' Union supports student parents breastfeeding within our student space. If you require a private area please come and speak to our welcome desk and we will do our best to accommodate you.
As a parent and a student you may be entitled to help with childcare costs and learning funds external to ARU (see above for ARU funding). To find out if you are eligible you can contact the Money Advice Service at ARU.

Parents In Education Society
The society aims to provide informal support for individuals who are juggling studies alongside parenting. It is starting with the basis that ‘it takes a village’ and hopes to create a network for all those who are providing care to children and who are not experiencing the ‘conventional’ university experience due to their care responsibilities.
