LSE Parents Network

Welcome to the webpage for the LSE Parents Network.

The LSE Parents Network is a group that provides staff with children (and those expecting or planning to start a family) with opportunities to discuss and address issues of work-life balance that may be of concern to them. The Network is run on a voluntary basis by staff for staff.

News
We now have a room on the first floor of the Parish Hall, where expectant mothers can put their feet up and rest and where staff who are still breast-feeding and returning to work can express and store milk. For more information and the entry code email Health&Safety@lse.ac.uk. For advice on how to use the room and its facilities, contact Mira Krusteff email: m.krusteff@lse.ac.uk.

In particular, LSE Parents Network:

  1. Provides parents with the opportunity to have a dedicated mentor who can offer support and advice to staff preparing for and returning from maternity or paternity leave.
     
  2. Encourages a broader awareness of maternity and paternity policies and related matters.
     
  3. Has worked with Health & Safety to provide a private, specially equipped room for expectant and breastfeeding mothers MORE.
     
  4. Hosts a series of lunch-time talks on family-related topics.
     
  5. Hosts at least one informal lunch-time meeting per term for any interested staff across the School to come and meet with other LSE parents.

If you have any queries about the LSE Parents Network, please email Parents.Network@lse.ac.uk. Your email will be answered by one of the Parents Network mentors.
