UCL Supports UCL Supports is a new initiative aimed at increasing awareness of the different ways UCL can support staff through the pandemic and encouraging staff to speak up if they need our support. Professor Sasha Roseneil, Pro-vice Provost (Equity and Inclusion) and Executive Dean of the Faculty of Social and Historical Sciences has recorded a message for staff highlighting how the latest lockdown is breaking down the boundaries between the professional and the personal, and how this calls for us all to scale- back our expectations of what can be achieved during this period. Good enough, is good enough, at this time: if you are struggling with balancing caring responsibilities and work, do what you can, whatever that looks like for you.
