February was a month of shared sadness, as thousands lost their lives in the earthquakes that tragically devastated parts of Turkey and neighbouring Syria, including Ghana international and Premier League player Christian Atsu. Our thoughts are with all those affected.
Some of life’s challenges are, fortunately, of a much more joyous nature – in this guide, we explain how SEMPRIS can support you if you need to take maternity, paternity or adoption leave.
Meanwhile, here is a summary of some of the research and articles you may have missed last month.
If you have any suggestions for resources, studies or events for inclusion in future bulletins, please do let us know.
