The Athena Swan Parenting Rooms provide a private, hygienic, safe and secure area for breastfeeding staff and students to express and store breastmilk or to feed their baby.
Developed in response to staff feedback, the rooms are designated spaces for expressing, or for those who prefer to use a private location for breastfeeding.
The space and facilities
For privacy, the rooms are lockable from the inside. They have a comfortable chair, with plug sockets near to the chair, a small table and a fridge to store milk.
A suitable sink area for washing up expressing equipment has been identified for each room.
