Paternity leave: 'Every dad should be entitled'

A Guernsey man believes fathers should be allowed to take more parental leave with their newborn children as it "helps the mums as well".

The island's laws, currently allow the mother's partner to take two weeks parent leave but there is no legal requirement for employers to provide pay during it.

Tom Jenkins has recently returned to work after more than five months of parent leave following the birth of his son.

He said: "It would be nice if all dads got that because every dad should be entitled to that time with their children."
