The Flexible & Family Friendly Working All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) will focus on championing flexible working policies that support families across the country, as well as remove the barriers that people with caring responsibilities face in the workplace.
The group is jointly chaired by the shadow economic secretary to the Treasury, Tulip Siddiq and Dame Maria Miller, Conservative MP for Basingstoke. Charity Working Families is also involved, acting as the secretariat for the group, while Save the Children is one of a number of sponsors.
It has been set-up ahead of new legislative changes coming into effect in April which will give employees the right to request flexible working from day one of their new job.
