Working Families

Working Families is the UK’s work life balance charity. We help working parents and carers and their employers to thrive by finding a better balance between responsibilities at home and work. Our ground breaking research and campaigns seek to change the way we live and work. Our consultants and trainers work with employers to create workplaces that enable and sustain high performance, resilience and work-life balance for everyone. Contact [email protected] or visit www.workingfamilies.org.uk/employers for more information about our employer services. Our free Legal Helpline gives parents and carers advice on how to work with their employer to develop the flexibility they need, as well as, providing advice on employment rights such as maternity and paternity leave, rights to time off in an emergency, and parental leave. We also give advice on the benefits and tax credits that working parents can claim and provide advice on maternity discrimination and pregnancy discrimination. By operating in the real world of pragmatic advice and practical solutions, we are making our vision a reality.
