Our name defines two of the most important parts of life: family
and employment. These are often in conflict. We feel passionately
that this is unnecessary, counter-productive and must change.
Things ARE changing. By working with parents and carers and
organisations alike, Working Families helps children,
working parents and carers and their employers find a better balance
between responsibilities at home and work. By operating in the real
world of pragmatic advice and practical solutions, we are making
our vision a reality.
