Tips from students with families and caring responsibilities
Sort childcare/care early and make sure all bases are covered (plan B and plan C) as the hours are long and unpredictable.
Be organised
Have a space you can go to for study where it is quiet and there are no distractions.
NEVER leave assignments, try and start them straight away.
Enjoy the holidays!
Send kids to childcare on your days off, they are great days to study covered by your bursary.
Plan ahead and keep a diary or your head will start spinning.
Take every little bit of help you can get with your house e.g., cooking, cleaning, general care duties!Â
