Additional context

As part of the Women in the Workplace project, funded by DHSC and run by Pregnant Then Screwed and Best Beginnings, we are excited to share that we have received an Accreditation for the Empowered Foundations training with a focus on women's reproductive health in the workplace. As part of the training, our managers accessed modules based on the topics of pregnancy loss, fertility, flexible working and eliminating bias to better understand the use of language, ways to support members of staff and increase knowledge base around these specific topics. Here at City Family we are striving to improve the support available for the women in our workplace.
