Is there a right to work part time?
Many parents would like to work part time, especially after having a baby or returning to work from family leave. Some employers are happy to negotiate part time working. Unfortunately there is no right to change your working hours to part time. But you may have a right to request flexible working, that you can use to request to work part time.
