The government has withdrawn a sexist poster designed to encourage people to stay at home after it attracted cristicsm over its depiction of only women engaged in domestic tasks, including standing with a mop bucket, home-schooling children, holding a baby near an ironing board and relaxing on a sofa with a man and child.
At the Domestic Cleaning Business Network, we know that many of our business owners are men and despite being historically a heavily women led industry, we are seeing more and more men join into what is a growing professional industry.
As the largest trade association for the industry, we often get asked about discrimination in the workplace and provide our members with the latest legislation and advice.
