Parking for carers

Parking permits have gone paperless at Sussex.

To apply for a staff carer permit, please apply for a standard staff parking permit via the , and e-mail the Parking Panel with a brief summary of your carer responsibilities. Once approved, your parking permit will be transferred to a carer-approved equivalent.

Students can apply for a carer permit directly  under Exceptional Circumstances.

To support our flexible working policy, special permits enable carers to find a parking space if they arrive after 9am, when car parks are most likely to be full. This scheme is for carers who have a child under the age of 12, or an older dependent relative with a disability.

Designated parking spaces are available before 10am on weekdays in the following locations:

  • P1 Science car park: 32 spaces
  • P3 Biology car park: 11 spaces
  • P4 Sussex House car park: 14 spaces
  • P7 Arts car park: 7 spaces
  • Lancaster House: 7 spaces

Carer spaces are not individually assigned, and all are openly reserved for all drivers with carer permits before 10am. These spaces are open for general use by all drivers after 10am each day.

As a courtesy to other carers, please use general parking spaces if they are available. Many carers may need to arrive later each morning, and may need the use of carer spaces once all other spaces are occupied.

If you have any questions about parking for carers, please see our Frequently Asked Questions, or send suggestions about this scheme to parkingpanel@sussex.ac.uk.
