Working Families | Managing working from home and family lives during COVID-19

Are you a parent or carer who has been working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic while looking after your children? If so – we are inviting you to participate in a new study in collaboration with researchers at Queen Mary University of London, Birkbeck, University of London and Middlesex Universities, exploring the experiences of managing work and family during the COVID-19 pandemic, and your aspirations for work in the future.

This is your chance to share your views on how employers and the government can support parents better as we finally come out of this crisis and move into a ‘new normal’.

The researchers would like to talk to you in an interview of around 30-60 minutes. Your responses will be made anonymous and will not be linked to you or your employer in any way.
