Dads on the Job: Should UK Paternity Leave Be Longer?
The Clive Holland Show
Tuesday, 24 June 2025 - 33 minutes
Today, following the recent “Dads’ Strike” for better paternity leave, we turned our attention to the UK's offering — which is the lowest in Europe and six weeks below the average. So, what’s fair when it comes to leave for new dads? And should the UK follow countries like Spain, where even self-employed fathers get 16 weeks off? We were joined by London President of the Federation of Master Builders, David Gutierrez and Sam Blakeney who shared their thoughts. Plus, there’s the Pub Lunch Quiz and all your best messages. Enjoy!
