The Scottish Parliament’s Social Justice and Social Security Committee is looking for views from businesses in Scotland on what support could help parents who are looking for new jobs.
The committee is running a call for input, following visits to meet parents and employers in different areas around Scotland, including the east end of Glasgow, North Ayrshire and Uist in the Outer Hebrides.
Key themes raised during the visits have included the availability and cost of transport, access to and the flexibility of childcare provided by local authority and support to help parents who are looking for work to get flexible, well-paid and secure jobs.
