Home Front - join the national debate 
Home Front is a high-profile national debate hosted by Mumsnet and Dads Info, and supported by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, about how parents organise work and caring for children. At the end of the process, which will run for a few months, we'll compile policy suggestions about what can be done to improve work-life balance for families.
