Welfare Reform Bill

Very often women with children who do not know English face several barriers at the same time. I am not sure that it is easy to prioritise whether it is the knowledge of language, problem of culture or the presence of children that is the largest and most important barrier to working. At the same time, looking after children is work, and that is not recognised. Until and unless the work that women do as child carers is recognised, that fundamental barrier will never be confronted or removed.
