Nurture/Nursing rooms
We are really pleased to announce the opening of the new Nurture rooms on both the Streatham and St Luke's Campuses. These new rooms are a fabulus resource for our staff.
We provide rooms for employees who are pregnant to rest and employees who are nursing to express on each of our three campuses. Under the Equality Act 2010 the University has a legal duty to provide suitable rest facilities for breastfeeding employees.
The rooms are equipped with a chair where you can express milk or feed, and a fridge which is solely for the storage of expressed milk.
These rooms also contain a bed. Pregnant and nursing employees can use these rooms to rest.
If you have any issues with the rooms, please contact the Health and Safety Team and/or log maintenance issues with Campus Services.
Please note that the rooms referred to as Nursing Rooms are also first aid rooms. The Nurture rooms are solely to be used for pregnant or nursing employees, students and visitors.
