Working Families

Working Families is the UK's national charity for working parents and carers. We want to achieve a society in which everyone can fully meet their work and caring responsibilities, where all parents and carers have an equal opportunity to find and progress in secure, paid work. Our mission is to remove the barriers that people with caring responsibilities face in the workplace. We drive positive change by supporting and advocating for working parents and carers, collaborating with employers to build flexible and family-friendly cultures, and influencing government policy. Three objectives will be running through all our work until 2024: 1. Support employers to create and sustain successful flexible and family-friendly workplaces 2. Empower parents and carers to understand and use their workplace rights 3. Drive meaningful policy and legal changes to engender secure and flexible jobs as the norm, and advocate for a baseline of protection that delivers equality in the workplace
