Ministers Urged to Review Flexible Working Legislation
Family experts have urged the government to review legislation barring employees from negotiating flexible working hours, and to take a more strategic approach to funding relationship support.
The calls to action were made at the Family and Parenting Institute (FPI) seminar, Knowing Families, and will form the basis of a report which ministers will be asked to respond to over the summer.
Sarah Jackson, chief executive of charity Working Families, urged ministers to look at removing the 26-week barrier “so that people with children and care responsibilities can get the flexibility they need from day one”.
