Carers leave
See notes
I am writing to request the following information:
1. How many days of paid and/or unpaid leave per year can staff who are carers take?
2. When were the last changes made to the hours/days registered carers can take and what change was made?
3. Is your organisation a Carer Confident employer?
4. How many staff members are registered carers in your organisation?
5. How many days of paid and/or unpaid carer’s leave were taken on average per registered carer in 2023 and 2024?
6. Was an Equality Impact Assessment completed for the policy?
7. Was the policy reviewed alongside related policies, such as flexible working arrangements?
8. Do managers receive training on the nature of being a carer and how best to support staff’s individual needs?
9. If there is training, is it mandatory?
10. Is there a Carers Network in the organisation? If there is, does it have a senior sponsor and what is their role within the organisation?
11. Please provide a copy of your carers leave policy as a PDF and email/direct me to the policy. If there is not a stand-alone document, please provide the policies that contain and reference this, such as special leave or time off for dependents and a copy/link.
12. Was the carer’s leave policy, or the policies that contain and reference this, co-produced with staff?
