This International Women's Day join Fathers Network Scotland and Business In The Community Scotland. This event will be an opportunity to examine the current evidence and thinking around parental leave and how it can lead to greater gender equality at home and at work.

We are delighted to be able to welcome a number of international experts on leave policy. They will be providing insight into how business, the public sector and third sector approach the implementation of leave policy so that both men and women benefit.
