Hello.
There's a bit of a campaign going on to change the law, so that parents can pass on some of their parental leave to grandparents.
So, if grandparents wanted to look after a new grandchild for say the second six months of his or her life, they'd be entitled to take time off from their workplace to do that.
Good idea?
Would you find this useful? And, given that we are all being encouraged to stay in work longer, would it be useful for grandparents?
Do please let us know your thoughts here. And you'd be most welcome to join the Gransnet discussion about it, too!

Should parents be able to pass on their parental leave entitlement to grandparents?
