Crèche Facilities
We hope to be able to offer on-site crèche facilities and will be applying for a University of St Andrews Diversity Fund grant to cover the costs. If you would like to place children in these, please include details of how many, their ages and any other relevant information with your paper proposal. We will not be able to increase numbers at a later date, so if this is something you are interested in please include this information at this stage, even if you may later make other arrangements.
