Mission Statement
NGH is the main body in this country campaigning on the behalf of Homeworkers. At the core of the group are a number of homeworking projects and homeworkers. This grass roots involvement authorises NGH to be the national voice of homeworkers.
The National Group on Homeworking is committed to ensuring that the contributions made by homeworkers to the economy are recognised and rewarded accordingly
Our ultimate aim is to improve the working conditions of all homeworkers so that homeworking becomes a real employment option for those who wish to work at home.
To this end, the National Group on Homeworking will work towards and promote
- Employment status for all homeworkers, including equalisation of all employment rights such as maternity, redundancy, unfair dismissal and pensions
- Receipt of the national minimum wage by all homeworkers
- Adequate health and safety provision for the home as a place of work
- Accessible, affordable and quality childcare for all who want to work both outside and inside the home
- Adequate facilities and support for those caring for other dependents
- Good employment practices for all homeworkers, regardless of their sex, race, ethinicity, disability and other causes of discrimination
- Comprehensive training and educational opportunities for all homeworkers
- The organisation of homeworkers as a recognised section of the workforce
