The Government should introduce statutory paternity allowance for self-employed fathers, similar to maternity allowance, and increase statutory paternity leave to at least 4 weeks. This could support families, promote early bonding, and improve parental equality.

Raise parental leave limit for parents working at least 16 hours a week
We believe raising the parental leave limit for parents working at least 16 hours a week is particularly important for single parents. We want the parental leave limit to be raised to at least 4 weeks per year.
Create a legal entitlement to two weeks’ paid bereavement leave for employees
We call on the Government to create a legal entitlement to two weeks (10 working days) of paid bereavement leave for employees, which can be taken flexibly and in separate periods where needed, to ensure consistent protection for bereaved workers across the UK.
Raise statutory maternity pay for parents with mortgage to help with costs
We believe home owners should be entitled to additional support during maternity leave.
Introduce statutory paid leave for 1 parent if child too ill for school/nursery
We call on the UK Government to give one parent per household a statutory right to paid leave when their child is too ill to attend nursery or school, with pay and requirements equivalent to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP).
Give families an additional tax-free allowance for each child
Introduce a tax-free allowance for each dependent child under 18, in addition to the personal allowance, and ensure it is given to the parent with primary day-to-day care of the child.
