Working Families is more than the voice of working parents.

We offer practical help.

We inform parents about choices in childcare.

We support you on employment rights, campaign for changes in the law, and try to persuade employers to adopt practices which work for them and you alike.

We publish topical, relevant and free information. Click here to see a list of our factsheets or here to go to publications.

A dedicated helpline is available for low income or otherwise disadvantaged families, providing free legal advice, help with negotiating with your employer and with in-work benefits. Call our qualified advisers on 0800 013 0313 our free helpline.

We also have a network supporting parents who are trying to combine paid work with caring for a disabled child. Click here for more

In everything we do, we help parents to balance work and home, assisting you in realising your potential as a parent and employee.

Yet without your support we cannot function at all. Our existence is based on helping where we can – and being helped when you can. If you would like to help please click here
