4Parents & Carers

4Parents & Carers

4Parents & Carers

4Parents & Carers exists to support Channel 4 staff who have parenting and caring responsibilities, such as caring for an elderly or disabled relative.

4Parents & Carers was set up in June 2020 as the pressure on working parents and carers across the business continued to increase dramatically alongside the pandemic. Home-schooling, illness, remote working, social distancing and its impact on those close to us meant that there was an understandable increase in stress and anxiety for those with this lived experience. 

They're here to support anyone who is balancing new or ongoing caring responsibilities with work by:

  • Providing a safe, informal and confidential space for everyone to share their experiences.
  • Raising awareness of the challenges faced by parents and carers.
  • Highlighting Channel 4 policies that are available to support parents and carers.
  • Signposting queries, providing advice and representing members views to the business.
  • Identifying relevant topics of interest, with a vew to sharing knowledge, exploring solutions and providing tips.
