Text
The 'good jobs' employment rights consultation proposed to introduce the right to up to one week of leave pro rata for unpaid eligible carers over a rolling 12-month period, to provide care for a family member or other dependant who has a longer-term or otherwise significant care need. We will continue to engage on that, and there are opportunities for those who represent carers to have an input. They already have done, and they will continue to have an input as we develop policy on that issue and turn it into legislation and other proposals that may come forward over the next year.
