WORKING
PARENTS
The Government is committed
to ensuring that every child has the best start in life and to creating more
choice for all parents: helping fathers and mothers better control the balance
between work and time spent with children, whilst ensuring that the needs of
business are met.
We are currently seeking views on
the commitments outlined in the
2004 pre-Budget report –
improving the arrangements for parents to take paid leave after the birth of a
child and the case for extending the scope of the flexible working law.
Please visit our consultation page for more
details.
