It just doesn't make sense that in 2018 that the Government think they only need to consider mothers when it comes to any parental legislation! Link in bio and here to write to MP's urging them to support the bill 'Self-employed shared parenting' buff.ly/2OG2eXJ

It's National #worklifeweek! A big shout out to everyone taking part and we hope your plans go well. You can still download our toolkit - we've got plenty of last minute ideas to get involved. ow.ly/dbVd30m0PLJ

The 24/7 always on single version of success doesn't work for parents and means we will continue to lose female talent. @virginiaherlihy talking about the motherhood penalty and its impact on organisational diversity. @MaddoxWinSeries #WinFinance #Genderpaygap @workingfamUK

If you're expecting a child or have recently had a baby you might find our three-part toolkit for new parents useful. It covers benefits, rights at work and flexible working. workingfamilies.org.uk/articles/advic…

It is always really rewarding when you are asked your opinion on #careers #flexibleworking @theflexfactorHQ has quoted us on being strategic when asking for flexibleworking. Take a look bit.ly/2JOYIaU

#flexibleworking is absolutely not a perk. Parents of disabled children really struggle to hold down jobs because of a lack of parental support and job flexibility. @TrainingJournal buff.ly/2L82MUh

@mamacanflex exactly! 😂

OK, so it's the last day of term for many today, got a slight panic on 😳😅 #summerholidays

'Firms are reluctant to hire women if they suspect they plan to have children in the near future'. Really?! 😲 It's not just unlawful, it's stupid; those firms are missing out on a major pool of talent and skills. @InsightOnWork #genderequality buff.ly/2NYcCpv

As well as this 38% of companies would offer #flexibleworking to increase staff retention according to a survey by @britishchambers and @indeed buff.ly/2O149lu

@crecheandco It'll be fine! As long as you have a few key fun things to do organised in advance, then you can fill in the gaps with more everyday stuff. (I also have a personal stack of chocolate hidden away to keep me sane!)

@theflexfactorHQ I'm already just starting to panic slightly about next year when it will all starts for us. Be sure to let us know all your secrets!

@AquilinaSocial I do hope so! 😂

@theflexfactorHQ You’ve got this!

It’s no wonder then that many women seek to build up their confidence when returning to work. It’s important that employers recognise . A lovely read by @theflexfactorHQ buff.ly/2Jgoqow #careerbreak #backtowork #RedefiningReturners #RebootHer #InvestinYou

Who struggles with #HolidayChildcare over the summer? It's a huge challenge, financially and logistically. A new survey from @FamChildTrust finds the average cost is £800, that's PER CHILD to cover the 6 week break. twitter.com/FamChildTrust/…

Ooh, here's another seriously important reason to tackle our #genderpaygap and keep striving for #genderequality. People sleep better in societies where men take a more active role in childcare and more women have high powered jobs. 😴 @Independent buff.ly/2NS0WVj
