Episode 190 - Alex Lloyd Hunter - The Dad Shift, parents campaigning for better paternity leave in the UK

The Dad Shift is a group of men, dads and other parents campaigning for better paternity leave in the UK

The UK’s pat leave problem

The UK’s statutory paternity leave is bad. Really bad. In fact, it’s the worst in Europe.

Dads and non-birthing parents get only two weeks off, paid at less than half the minimum wage. Self employed people get nothing.

There’s now loads of evidence that this is bad for everyone: mums, dads, kids, and society as a whole.

We are calling for paternity leave that is:Substantial

Gives dads enough time off to support their partner and bond with their kids, without taking leave away from mums.

Affordable

Is paid at a rate that means everyone can afford to take it, with self-employed people getting paid too.

Equal

Gives both parents equal leave, so mums and dads are free to shape their own roles in the family, not have them dictated by gender.

This is a fight for all parents

We’re campaigning for substantial, affordable and equal leave for both parents in every relationship - same-sex, heterosexual, or adoptive - and for self-employed people.
