All things #SharedParentalLeave and #GenderEquality - check out my Shared Parental LEAGUE - which highlights the best performers as regards to SPL enhanced pay.

[dadonspl @dadonspl]

Another crucial (but often overlooked) factor re SPL is what I call the "Birthday Peg" - WHEN fathers can take enhanced paid leave is often just as important as WHETHER they can take it. If enhanced pay is pegged to the birth date - uptake becomes much less likely / useful.

This would support the view that there needs to a be a period of non-transferable leave given to all parents (something I called for in my response to the Govt consultation) https://t.co/C7cVqcGBOe

Hi @DrClaireLynch - I heard you on the BBC's #sharingthebaby Great stuff! You might be interested in my interview with a mum in a same sex couple re #sharedparentalleave (and more generally in my work in this area) cheers! @fifiglover

@MariannaHunt5 Sure will do.

@MariannaHunt5 Hi Marianna - I saw your recent article on shared parental leave. You might be interested in my Shared Parental League (https://t.co/U719QrY3aC) which highlights some of the best policies available in the UK. Do let me know if you'd like any further information.

[dadonspl @dadonspl]

I've appeared on @CareerDadUK podcast and the Legally speaking podcast talking about these issues. You'll also find a series of interviews on my blog with other professionals that have taken SPL. If you'd like to discuss any of my work further - do send me a msg / email. Thanks!

.@LexyTopping Hi! Great article on #parentalleave - you might be interested in my response to the govt consultation https://t.co/C7cVqcGBOe covering #spl and my #sharedparentalleague https://t.co/U719QrY3aC which compares best SPL policies

[dadonspl @dadonspl]

I think it's easy to say SPL has been a failure, but looking at my league, I'd actually say #SPL has been pivotal catalyst in helping change attitudes. You mention @avivaplc Aviva, but @SLA_plc offer by far the best SPL policy in UK and others are following their lead.

@wmarybeard Hi! My daughter, Millicent, turns 1 soon. I'm giving her my signed copy of #womenandpower and also having an ex libris stamp made for her. I want the stamp to contain the motto "You are determined!" in Latin but can't seem to find a good translation. Pls can you help?

[Alexander von Rosenbach @TakeTheTimeDad]

“in 20 years time I want to mention to the kids that I did SPL and I want them to say ‘so what dad?’ because it’s something commonplace, done by most fathers.”

Love this interview with @MrAlexLawson by @dadonspl

@joswinson Hi Jo, whatever happens today, please know that because of you, I was able to have some of the best times of my life taking 6 months' #sharedparentalleave with my daughter, Millicent. You have changed… https://t.co/viHb3AcWxR

[dadonspl @dadonspl]

@CushWakeUK Congratulations on your new #sharedparentalleave policy! Which gives men 6 weeks enhanced full pay. Can I ask, why didn't you match your maternity allowance (26 wks full pay), so that parents are incentivised to split leave equally?

[dadonspl @dadonspl]

@savechildrenuk Well done for increasing your #spl paid leave to 12 wks (and for allowing it during the whole first year)! Can I ask, why didn't you increase it to 21 wks - the total maternity pay you offer - is STC's view that women are the preferred/natural childcare giver?

[dadonspl @dadonspl]

@CareerDadUK Does he want to do an interview for my blog??!
