Survey: Caring and Paid Work

Survey: Caring and Paid Work

Working Families has launched a survey to find out more about the barriers
facing parents/carers of disabled children who want to work. We know that childcare and negotiating flexible working are major challenges and we also know that parents who give up work find it extremely difficult to get back into the labour market. But if we are to provide targeted support and campaign for change we need to know much more about the barriers facing parents and carers who want to combine caring and paid work.

Local Family Information Services are a key focus for local information and we would be very grateful for your assistance in helping to ensure that the survey reaches parents and carers of disabled children.

The survey can be completed online by going to:
