On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
We are really pleased to be offering two networking events this term on 13th November. These are a continuation of the networking events, returning carers workshops and the on going programme of support aimed at those with caring responsibilities (which may include those caring for older relatives, dependants and people with disabilities) and those new to parenting (dads and mums, please come along). Our networking events are an informal opportunity to meet colleagues from across the University and to find out more about the support available for you.
Session 1
From 13:00 we will be answering your questions about support available for carers working in the University and exploring how we can build networks of support for University staff with different caring responsibilities. The event will be attended by Carers UK, who will be talking about the service they can provide to adult carers. This will be an informal opportunity to enjoy a hot drink and pastry while making connections with others.
This invitation is for session one for carers, information on session two can be found here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/networking-tea-for-new-parents-tickets-78025011911 come to one or come to both, we hope to see you there.
