Working Families Helpline - Family support services
What we do
Working Families is the UK’s national charity for working parents and carers. Our mission is to remove the barriers that people with caring responsibilities face in the workplace. We help working parents and carers and their employers find a better balance between responsibilities at home and work.
Our Legal Helpline gives parents and carers advice on employment rights such as maternity and paternity leave, rights to time off in an emergency, shared parental leave and parental leave, as well as helping them to negotiate the flexible hours they want. We can give basic advice on the benefits that working parents can claim. We also give advice on maternity discrimination and pregnancy discrimination.
Who do we support
The helpline is for parents, carers and their advisers and gives advice on employment rights for parents and benefits for families. The helpline is run by a team of solicitors and advisers and has an Advice Quality Standard Quality Mark.
