Protecting children made vulnerable by the demands work places on their parents

Working Families protects children made vulnerable by the demands work places on their parents, especially those with disabilities and special needs.

50% of families with disabled children live below the poverty line. This is often because parents who want to work struggle to obtain the flexible working hours needed to meet the specialised care needs of their children.

Giving support, information and advice to parents who need to juggle the demands of work and family responsibilities, Working Families provides a lifeline which helps keep poverty at bay.

Using the information on your website, I was able to persuade my company to let me work flexibly. I was the first to do so and now others have done the same.
