Employers For Childcare encompasses a registered charity and Employers For Childcare Trading Limited, which administers the only Social Enterprise Childcare Voucher scheme in the UK, an employee benefit which saves parents and employers millions of pounds annually. Since 2008 we have invested over £5.2 million into our charity, supporting and advocating for working families across the UK. Our vision is to make it easier for parents with dependent children to get into work and to stay in work. We address childcare as a labour market and an economic issue. Each year we host the Family Friendly Employer Awards. The event is an opportunity to celebrate the employers who have excelled by introducing innovative family friendly workplace policies such as summer schemes for children or a day off for your birthday! 100% of the profit from Employers For Childcare Trading Limited is donated to our charitable services. Our charity’s services are delivered free to all recipients and include: • Family Benefits Advice Service: Our specialist advisors carry out personalised checks and better-off calculations to ensure every parent is claiming the financial help they are entitled to, particularly towards the cost of childcare. We offer a Freephone Helpline - 0800 028 3008 - available from 8am-5pm Monday to Friday. We also deliver face-to-face and telephone outreach, roadshows, presentations and seminars. This could be in community venues or at employer sites. • Research, policy and lobbying: We undertake research to provide us with the evidence to lobby Government on childcare, family and work-related issues, striving to ensure that the voices of parents, childcare providers and employers are heard when policy decisions are being made. If you want to introduce a Childcare Voucher scheme for your employees, or if you are interested in any of the above, we would love to hear from you. For more information call 028 9267 8200.
