Our campaign for father-inclusive support for working families
Over the next six weeks we will submit our responses to the UK Government’s Good Work Plan, which includes three separate consultations: one about neonatal leave and pay, one about transparency of employer work-life balance policies (these first two must be submitted by 11 October), and one about parenting leave and pay (to be submitted by 29 November).
