The make it work task list

We know that single parents want the opportunity to take up work that fits alongside their caring responsibilities, gives them enough money to support their children and allows them to progress. Now is the time for government, with employers, to employ a different attitude to single parents and work, and make that happen.

Decisive action in four key areas would transform the working (and the home) lives of hundreds of thousands of Britain’s poorest families, and, at last, make it work for single parents.

The workforce is waiting. We need the government to:

• Make work a guaranteed route out of poverty for single parents
• Get 250,000 more single parents into work by 2020
• Employ a different attitude to work and school hours
• Unlock single parents’ skills and potential
