Details

We commissioned independent research to look at the experiences of parenthood for both men and women. We surveyed 4,057 UK adults between 13 and 17 February 2015.

The new regulations on shared parental leave apply to working parents with babies due or children matched or placed for adoption on or after 5 April 2015.
