Whilst discussing childcare arrangements, my friend's colleague has told her that her mum can help out with school holidays, except for October half term, as she works in a Jewish school and they don't get that holiday.
Is this a general thing, and if so, what is the reason for this? Is there a certain holiday/event that takes place around that time?
My friend is convinced that the colleague is not being truthful and has used this as an excuse for not working last week.
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
Should women have equal pay and opportunities?
