Thanks to @commonswec.parliament.uk for mentioning @cipd.bsky.social work on paternity and shared parental leave in your latest report. 👇
The Women & Equalties Committee have published our report as part of our series on Equality at Work on paternity and shared parental leave.
Some key recommendations:
🚼 increasing paternity leave from 2 weeks to 6 weeks is a start
🚼 include the self-employed
🚼 simplify SPL
🚼 paternity allowance.
