A woman has been told she cannot breastfeed her baby on campus at one of the world’s most prestigious arts schools.

Jasmijn Toffano, a student at Central Saint Martins, was initially led to believe there would be no problem bringing her newborn daughter to classes, but said the college reversed that days before she was due to start her course, leaving her struggling to find childcare and to fulfil her course obligations.

Now she is campaigning to convince every university in the UK to provide spaces where parents can care for their children on or near campus.
