Stay at home mums and dads are often expected to return to work within a year of having a child. We think that is not enough time for a mother’s body/mind to heal and costs of childcare makes working pointless. We think a child should be with their parents at such a crucial age.

Raise income support by creating a benefit for stay at home parents.
Many people are struggling to pay their rent which means more people are appealing for council housing.
