At Swansea we have always accommodated carers in rooms
adjoining the students they are supporting. The carers are given
membership of the Students' Union, the Athletic Union, together
with borrowing rights in the library. If they want to sit in on
lectures in subjects that interest them, that's quite OK. We believe
that carers should be includud as much as possible in the life of
the University . Only in this way can they relate to those they are
are trying to help. The costs are covered by the Social Services
Dept. of the local authority . We have never subsidised this
item and we've been operating this way for over 20 years.
Hope this is helpful.
