Mums in Construction: Staying, Stepping Up and Leading

I’m gathering insight from mums working in construction and the build environment to better understand what helps women stay, contribute and progress after becoming a parent.

This short survey should take around 5 minutes. Most questions are tick-box or multiple choice, with a few optional spaces to share more.

Your responses will help shape future resources, articles and support for mums in construction and the employers who want to retain them.

Consent & Confidentiality

Your responses will be treated with care and used to identify common themes, experiences and opportunities to improve support for mums working in construction.

Please avoid naming individual colleagues or sharing anything you would not want included in anonymised research themes.

Any quotes or insights shared publicly will be anonymised unless you give clear permission to be named.

Your name and email address are completely optional and will only be used if you would like Suzanne to contact you about sharing your story or taking part in future conversations.

Questions marked with an asterisk (*) are required. All other questions are optional, so please only share what you feel comfortable sharing.
