Timely Careers

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.
