Challenges parents are facing during the coronavirus pandemic

workingmums.co.uk is keen to hear from you about your concerns and challenges during the coronavirus pandemic.

We want to know how you are working, whether you are working and how you are managing generally and in particular with things like childcare during lockdown.

We will be using the results to see how we can better support parents over the weeks to come as well as continuing to highlight good employment practices and to provide legal advice to those whose employers are making life more difficult - or risky - for their employees.

We know from the questions readers have been sending us that there are a lot of issues around childcare, shielding and concerns about putting loved ones at risk.

Please do take part and help to improve conditions for working parents.
