From April 2003, parents with children under the age of 6 or disabled children under the age of 18 have the legal right to request flexible working hours and employers have a duty to consider their applications seriously.

This report is the first to examine attitudes towards flexible working and family life.

The strong tradition of attitude theory and research from social psychology is made relevant to language restoration and decay. Original research shows how attitude to bilingualism is conceptually distinct from attitude to a specific language. A piece of research in Wales investigates the origins of language attitudes in individual differences and in environmental attributes.
