Are you a student with caring responsibilities? Take part in the Student Carers study to help us understand how we can support you

The University’s Student Carers study is aimed at understanding the experiences of students with caring responsibilities currently studying at Westminster to help us provide support.

We are looking for students with caring responsibilities (this includes anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to long-term illness, disability, a mental health problem, or an addiction cannot cope without their support) who are interested in talking one-to-one about their experiences of caring whilst studying.

We'd also like to hear from students with childcare responsibilities, as well as those who balance study with looking after younger siblings.

If you would like to share your experience, please fill in this short survey, which will take no longer than two minutes to complete.

Participants selected for the study will receive a payment for taking part at the rate of £20 for 60 minutes and £30 for 90 minutes, depending on the length of the interview. 

The deadline to take part in the study is Friday 31 March 2023.
