Working Families is a voluntary organisation that supports all working parents and carers. They offer free advice about employment rights and in-work benefits for parents, carers and their advisers.

Working Families has set up ‘Waving not drowning’ – a dedicated network and advice service for people who work or wish to work and have caring responsibilities for dependents with a disability.

The project provides a helpline, newsletter, e-bulletin and occasional events and publications for parents of disabled children and carers of adults who want to combine paid work with their caring responsibilities.

Waving not drowning also has a Facebook Group where carers or parents can get support, share their experiences, and ask questions.
