Gold Rush

You're probably back into your term-time routine by now.  The early-morning scramble for shoes and PE kit and reading books.  The absolute determination to practice the recorder at 7.30, just as you thought you were on the verge of successfully bundling everyone into the car…

Why Flexible Working (and Family Support) ...

September brings new routines: the school run, nursery drop-offs, and now, for many families, access to 30 hours of funded childcare. It’s a big help - but as many news reports this week have been highlighting - it doesn’t solve everything…

Child's Play

Leaving your children for the first time is a big step - there's just no getting around it.  Whether you're re-joining the workforce after a career break or your maternity leave is coming to an end, the return to work can be nerve wracking.

Book Review: Lessons in Chemistry

It's something of a cliche, isn't it, to talk about our literary heroines as being brave.  Fearless. Determined.  But it's been a long time since we've come across a protagonist like Elizabeth Zott.  An utterly deadpan trailblazer, Elizabeth is punished for the cardinal sin of being herself in the face of society's attempts to turn her into someone else.

Nobel Endeavours

When we were children, we wanted heroes and heroines. Someone to look up to.  Someone to show us how to move through the world and save the day.  But, you know, time passed.  Life happens.  We found our own heroines in our everyday lives.  Our sisters.  Our friends. Our colleagues.
