The Welsh Institute for Health and Social care (WIHSC) is an academic department in the University's Faculty of Health, Sport and Science. Its 12 staff carry out a wide range of research, consultancy and educational work in health and social care policy and practice, across the UK and internationally. Most combine an academic background with managerial, policy and professional backgrounds. We are particularly interested in organisational and cross-sectoral issues, in public and service user engagement, and in policy/practice and managerial/professional interfaces.

Working Families is the UK's leading work-life balance organisation. The charity helps working parents and carers and their employers find a better balance between responsibilities at home and work. Our free Legal Helpline gives parents and carers advice on employment rights such as maternity and paternity leave, rights to time off in an emergency, and parental leave, as well as helping them to negotiate the flexible hours they want. We can also give basic advice on the benefits and tax credits that working parents can claim.
