Ulster University is committed to creating an environment that is welcoming, open and inclusive and in support of this, the People and Culture Directorate is delighted to inform you that Ulster University has become a member of the Public Health Agency ‘Breastfeeding Welcome Here’ Scheme, which is an initiative that aims to make it easier for mums to recognise places where they can breastfeed their baby when they are out and about.
The University has joined a network of ‘Breastfeeding Welcome Here’ venues that include many cafes, restaurants, shops and other businesses across Northern Ireland, and in doing so has agreed that:
• breastfeeding is acceptable in all areas of the business premises open to the general public
• a mother who is breastfeeding in an area of the business premises open to the general public will not be asked to move to another area or stop breastfeeding
• all staff members will be aware of the scheme and be supportive of breastfeeding mums
• they will display the Breastfeeding welcome here scheme window sticker and membership certificate.
Ulster University’s details have been added to an interactive map of organisations and companies who participate in the ‘Breastfeeding Welcome Here’ Scheme.
To find out more about our participation in the Scheme, please see Insight.
