I'm after some advice from those who have successfully gained home working contracts due to caring responsibilities (childcare).
I'm a civil servant and work in HR. Our policy states anyone can apply for homeworking however its more likely in my area of work to gain HW if you have disability. I want to request it as we are required to go into the office three days a week and it's just difficult with trying to drop off and pick up - drop off 8am and pick up 4pm so I'm leaving office at 3pm. I'm full time (can't drop hours) and already have flexible working in place. Home working would just make life A LOT easier... which is not an excuse they will support.
For this to be granted I need a super strong case to explain how child care impacts (as I know loads of parents make this work!) and wondered if anyone has a strong example of wording?
Working from home definitely won't impact the business negatively however given I'm in HR.. we see so many requests so I feel we have a stricter line.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
