AfA Working Potential

Interview practices can unfairly disadvantage parents and carers looking to return to work. A new toolkit from @gmcvo project Caring, Working, Living on ensuring interview practices support returners to the workforce is available here gmcvo.org.uk/caringworkingli…

This four-part Flexible Working toolkit, developed by #CaringWorkingLiving, is aimed both at employers who have not yet considered the benefits of #flexibleworking, as well as those that wish to review their existing practice. buff.ly/2QPpsud #GMFlexibleWorking

Fellow @gmcvo project, Caring, Working Living, have produced the first of their tool kits on flexible working, including a guide to flexible working developed by returners to the workforce and employers gmcvo.org.uk/caringworkingli…

Flexibility doesn't necessarily mean reduced hours. Offering the option to work back time spent at a hospital appointment can be invaluable to #carers. Could certain work be carried out at home or at an alternative location? #CarerAware ow.ly/7X9S50vp7fC
