'Change parents' lives' | Relaunched parliamentary group to champion working families & flexible working

A cross-party group of MPs and peers has relaunched in Westminster with a renewed focus on supporting working families and pushing for more flexible and family-friendly workplace policies across the UK.

The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Working Families has been reformed at the House of Commons, backed by business sponsors Zurich UK, law firm TLT, and construction group Wates, with Nottingham University Business School serving as academic partner.

Labour MP Sarah Russell, newly appointed Chair of the APPG, said improving access to flexible and family-friendly working would “change many parents’ and carers’ lives” and “boost our economy through greater workforce participation.”

“I’m so pleased to be chairing this APPG and working cross-party to create a society where careers and caring responsibilities are not mutually exclusive,” she said.
