Andrew Cripp's story
Since my second child was born, I have used a compressed hours arrangement to spend more time during the week with my children. This has meant that I am free on Mondays to take care of my children and be far more involved in their school and other activities. With my third child being born in October 2022, I was pleased to be able to take four weeks childbirth support leave, and make the most of this opportunity in those early crucial weeks.
