Jersey Child Care Trust is distributing competition leaflets on the Channel Island so parents can nominate their employers. Winning employers will receive a certificate and publicity during the Island's first Children's Week, which is from 26 March to 1 April.

Trust executive director Barbara Wallace said, 'We know that there are many excellent employers out there. They are flexible when staff have a sick child or a hospital appointment, they recognise the stresses of working full time with a family, and they genuinely try to help staff to balance work and family life.'

Those who think their bosses need to become more family-friendly can also enter their names and the Trust will send them a copy of their Employer's Tool Kit offering practical ideas and suggestions on flexible working and childcare support.

Competition leaflets are available from the Trust on 01534 629901. The closing date for entries is 9 February.
