Working parents

Fathers and equality campaigners in Guernsey echo calls in the UK to improve paternity leave.

Chris Jeffery, from Tunbridge Wells, is raising awareness of the rights of working family carers.

Most dads in the UK get two weeks of leave when their baby is born - but new fathers in many other countries get more.

A report says dads should be paid 80% of earnings and allowed six weeks off work when they have a child.

The site offers support for parents and carers and a place for children to play free of charge.

Betsan says she was told to give up work to care for her daughters but that she “wants to work”.

Parents of disabled children, including one mum told to give up working, call for more support.
