Return to Work workshops

What is a Return to Work workshop? 

The MaternityTeacher PaternityTeacher Project Return to Work workshop is a highly supportive session aimed specifically at teachers, school leaders and support staff preparing to return to work following a period of maternity, adoption or shared parental leave. 

During the 90-minute workshop participants will learn about their legal entitlements as returning parents and the best practice they can request from schools to support their return. The workshop offers the headspace to consider organisational logistics at home and at school, and prepare practically and emotionally for a confident return.   

These are baby-friendly events facilitated by Emma Sheppard, Founder of The MTPT Project, the UK's charity for parent-teachers.
