Tuesday 14 May | 1.00pm – 2.00pm

At Women In Renewables childcare was listed a main barrier for working parents.  For many, the cost of childcare was having a damatic impact on their working pattern.

RenewableNI has partnered with Employers For Childcare to offer a lunchtime webinar on the different form of support towards registered childcare costs.

There will be a 40 minute presentation which includes information on the eligibility criteria, the amount of support available and how the different forms of support are better in different household circumstances.

This will be followed by a Q&A on general questions that may arise and can be answered without the need for personal information being divulged.

Following the webinar contact details for an Employers for Childcare advisor will be provided for anyone to have a follow up confidential conversation regarding their personal circumstances and to have a calculation carried out to see what is the best form of financial support towards their childcare costs.

This session is free for RenewableNI members and will be held on MS Teams.
