Scheme for supporting FBE new parents

What is SSNP?

The Scheme for Supporting FBE New Parents (SSNP) aims for

• Improving the experience (e.g., health, wellbeing, work-life balance, career progression) of FBE staff who are new parents^*
• Effectively attracting and retaining FBE staff
• Improving gender equality and increasing woman representation among academics
• Enhancing a culture of diversity and inclusion at work and beyond

SSNP supports FBE new parents under three pillar initiatives:

• Support/Workshops/Networking
• Information hub that provides information relating to parental leave and beyond
• Work relief for FBE academics who are new parents
  • Taken within one year of the birth if the new parent academic does not take parental leave or taken within one year after returning to work following parental leave.
