Is affordable childcare an issue for your family?
Do you find this is a barrier for you to get back to work?
Do you feel like you need a PhD to navigate Universal Credit or the 30 Hours free childcare process?
... Do you understand your employers policy on flexible working?

This is also an opportunity to find out from other parents on how they manage childcare and work and also group discussions about what government help is currently available.
