The University recognises that staff who adopt a child require sufficient time for bonding, building trust and developing their family unit.
One of the adoptive parents of a child under the age of 18 years will be entitled to paid adoption leave subject to eligibility. It is for the parents themselves to decide which of them is to take adoption leave.
For full details of adoption leave please refer to guidance notes on Maternity and Adoption Leave (section 10).
Parents of adoptive children who do not take adoptive leave may be eligible for Paternity/Maternity Support Leave.
