All things #SharedParentalLeave and #GenderEquality - check out my Shared Parental LEAGUE - which highlights the best performers as regards to SPL enhanced pay.

Another crucial (but often overlooked) factor re SPL is what I call the "Birthday Peg" - WHEN fathers can take enhanced paid leave is often just as important as WHETHER they can take it. If enhanced pay is pegged to the birth date - uptake becomes much less likely / useful.

This would support the view that there needs to a be a period of non-transferable leave given to all parents (something I called for in my response to the Govt consultation)

I was really interested by the comment by Adrienne from @fatherhoodinst that only 3/10 couples are eligible for #SPL - I'd not seen that stat before - is that essentially caused by the 26 wk service and "employee" status requirements for SPL?

I've appeared on @CareerDadUK podcast and the Legally speaking podcast talking about these issues. You'll also find a series of interviews on my blog with other professionals that have taken SPL. If you'd like to discuss any of my work further - do send me a msg / email. Thanks!

“in 20 years time I want to mention to the kids that I did SPL and I want them to say ‘so what dad?’ because it’s something commonplace, done by most fathers.” Love this interview with @MrAlexLawson by @dadonspl

This would highlight the need to encourage more men to take SPL and share the joys of being the primary caregiver, which would be more effective in reducing the gender pay gap and ultimately benefit women more than simply extending the period of paid leave?? 3/3. @KateAndrs

is perpetuating the view that women should be the primary child caregiver. This is the very view that perpetuates the gender pay gap. Surely it would have been better for Labour to frame its policy in terms of extending statutory parental leave pay for BOTH parents 2/3
