Up to three in five parents often work late and end up missing their children’s bedtime, according to a charity’s survey. The charity Working Families’ survey of 2,700 adults revealed parents have been finding it difficult to strike a balance between work and home.
To mark the longest day of the year, the charity is campaigning for parents to take part in Go Home on Time Day, in order to highlight “that going home on time should be the norm, not the exception”.
