What Gap? is the result of too many conversations with fellow parents about how we were going to get back into paid employment after taking years out to raise our children.

We lamented the fact that we were often asked when we would be going ‘back to work’. The cruel irony being, of course, that we never stopped working in the first place.

But, instead of all our hard work raising the next generation of tax-payers being reflected on our CV, we were faced with a gap. An abyss.

What Gap? is all about reshaping attitudes towards parenting so that it can be valued and appreciated just like any other job.

When parents include their parenting experience on their CV, they plug the dreaded ‘gap’, and reveal a lot about themselves as a potential employee.

Our mission is to make parents and employers alike acknowledge the skills parents can bring to the workplace.
