From April 2024, employees gained a new statutory right to Carer’s Leave. But what does that mean in practice? How does it work alongside flexible working, and how can employers build a truly carer-friendly culture?
In this practical 40-minute session, we’ll explore the law, the workplace realities, and the cultural shifts needed to support carers at work. Whether you’re an employee balancing caring responsibilities or an employer building inclusive policies, you’ll come away with clarity and practical insights.
We’ll cover:
✨ What Carer’s Leave is, why it was introduced, and how it works
✨ How flexible working can enable carers to balance responsibilities
✨ Legal risks for employers who mishandle requests (including Follows v Nationwide)
✨ Best practice: what progressive employers are offering beyond the statutory minimum
✨ Tackling stigma and building a truly carer-friendly culture
✨ The bigger picture: demographics, the business case, and what future reform could look like
With Susan Kelly and Louise Lawrence, Partners in Winckworth Sherwood’s Employment Team.
This is a must watch session for employees who want to understand their rights and for employers who want to get policy, practice, and culture right.
