What would you like the government to put into action in the #First100Days? Kyle Green in our policy team believes that a consultation on reforming parental leave, particularly for lower earners and fathers, would show genuine commitment. He explores this in our latest blog, '100 Days of New Government: Working Families’ hopes for working parents and carers'. https://loom.ly/Un1YwIQ #WorkingFamilies #WorkingParents #ParentalLeave

Next up in our series of what we'd like to see from the new government over the #First100Days is our ambassador Becca Maberly, founder of A Mother Place, who wants to see more #FlexibleWorking supported by better #Childcare. What do you think the government should prioritise over the coming months? Text reads: “I would like to see the new government focusing on making flexible working more than a pipe dream for the millions of parents and carers in this country by helping to make childcare more affordable, improving access to wrap-around care and improving support for unpaid carers.” Becca Maberly, A Mother Place #First100Days #WorkingFamilies #WorkingParents

Congratulations to Anna Homewood at Aldermore Bank who won Family-Friendly Champion sponsored by Arnold Clark in our Best Practice Awards. 🎉 As a brand-new award, the judges were blown away by the calibre of entries. It was the category that sparked the most debate and brought the most smiles. All the individuals shortlisted should be extremely proud of their contributions. The judges were particularly impressed by the sheer scale of tangible, positive change that Anna has initiated in such a short period of time, and that it goes to prove that champions of family-friendly working come in every job title.
