Tweet about IHW maternity and paternity coffee morningIHW's innovative Maternity and Paternity Buddy Scheme now includes regular coffee mornings/afternoons for prospective, new and existing parents to meet with IHW's volunteer buddies.

The first of these was held on 19 June 2018, with a number of our buddies - both maternity and paternity - on hand to provide advice and support. We aim to hold these events approximately once per quarter, with invitations extended to all staff (and their families) who are currently on maternity or paternity leave, who have returned from mat or pat leave, or who are anticipating taking leave in the near future.

We urge as many as possible to join us at these friendly, informal events. Dates will be published on our mat and pat website and in Hawkeye as soon as they are confirmed.

Going forward, we hope to to extend our buddy scheme to include carers. Please contact IHW admin ihwadmin@glasgow.ac.uk if you would be interested in a carer buddy scheme.
