The UK's paternity leave policy is the worst in Europe.

New dads and non-birthing parents only get two weeks of leave paid at less than half the minimum wage. Self-employed people get nothing.

The Dad Shift is campaigning to change that. If you agree we need better paternity leave that properly supports kids and parents, add your name now.
