Valuable advice for hassled parents

2:44pm Monday 31st December 2007

PARENTS-to-be can find out more about how to balance family and work at an advice session in Kidderminster next month.

Worcestershire County Council's Family Information Service - FIS - is holding the session, on Tuesday, February 26, following a similar series of seminars for both first-time parents and those who already have children.

The FIS will provide information on pregnancy at work, financial assistance, maternity/paternity leave and pay, returning to work and childcare options.

There is also the opportunity for expectant parents to meet other parents-to-be and share experiences.

Chris Cawthorne, family information service team manager, said: "The aim of these sessions is to provide working parents-to-be with valuable information to enable them to make fully informed decisions about childcare and returning to work."

Kidderminster's session is at the library. Anyone wanting more information or to book a place should call the helpline on 01905 790560.
