Towards the ‘care-full’ university: A national study of staff who are caregivers in the UK Higher Education sector

<p dir="ltr">This research report presents the key findings of the <i>Towards the ‘care-full’ university: A national study of staff who are caregivers in the UK Higher Education sector </i>project<i>.</i> It builds on a smaller, separate project, conducted in our own institution (Moreau and Wheeler, 2022). The key ambitions of the new, scaled-up project presented in this report are to generate an understanding of the experiences of staff who are caregivers at a time of considerable transformation for the HE workforce and to identify a pathway to impact, so as to foster the development of a more inclusive culture for carers across the HE sector. This endeavour also coincides with the development of a range of policies across the sector, aiming to support staff’s wellbeing and recognising the new modes of doing paid and care work associated with the Covid-19 pandemic.</p>
