Single parents' group slams 'disruptive' welfare suspension for mother working from home

The woman recently moved to her own parents' house for the summer months with her child, as her employer said they had no difficulty with the location from which she worked. 

An organisation which supports single parents has slammed the suspension of a welfare payment to a mother who had planned to work from her parents' home for the summer in order to be with her daughter, who has no other childcare. 

SPARK (Single Parents Acting for the Rights of Kids) had highlighted the case in recent days of the woman who, in a normal summer, only sees her daughter at weekends, as the child stays with her grandparents due to the cost of childcare.
