If your research is disrupted, there may be things you need to do. Find out who you'll need to speak to, and other arrangements you might need to make.
If you are unable to study or believe your progress is being significantly disrupted, then you must let your Graduate School know immediately so they can support and advise you.
PGRs who are pregnant, whose partners are pregnant, or who are adopting a child can apply for a period of leave on parental grounds.
It is your responsibility to provide up-to-date objective evidence to support requests for authorised absence, suspensions or extensions of study, within the time frame given by your school.
UKRI funded PGRs may be entitled to sick pay for long and short-term absences, and short-term emergency/compassionate leave.
If you are funded by a UKRI training grant studentship, you are entitled to parental leave and financial support, in line with the terms and conditions of your funding.
