Interview Skills Workshop

We recognise that one of the main barriers, challenges and cause of anxiety for many parents, and prospective parents, is the cost of childcare when returning to work.

With this in mind, we are bringing you this online event which is specifically aimed at parents considering or planning a return to work, as well as prospective parents.  It will look at financial support for working parents and focus on the key barrier to returning to work – childcare costs.

Many people don’t realise that even if they are working they may still be entitled to financial help.
Whether it’s a first-time parent wanting to know what support is available, someone considering
altering their hours of work or a family member living with a disability or additional needs. The
team of experts will be happy to work out what is best for each individual’s circumstances.

The information session will be an introduction to the Family Benefits Advice Team and the services that Employers for Childcare can provide including access to their helpline and personalised better off calculations.

It will cover the main forms of support available for help with childcare costs and the changes in these over the past few years.  Information will also be provided on the topics below.

The old system:

• Childcare Vouchers
• Tax Credits

The new system:

• Tax Free Childcare
• Eligibility rules and potential savings
• Universal Credit (Inc the move to Universal Credit from existing benefits and its 2024-25 roll out)

This event is FREE to attend.  

Please share with anyone within your network that you think would benefit from attending.
