Extend the entitlement to leave for unpaid carers to one week
Last updated 4 years ago
Conservative Party Manifesto 2019, p.39We will extend the entitlement to leave for unpaid carers, the majority of whom are women, to a week.
Our verdict
- This is a promise to give people with caring responsibilities an entitlement to an additional week of unpaid leave.
- The government conducted a consultation from March to August 2020, seeking views on the impact of the policy and how it should be implemented.
- The consultation is evidence of continued commitment to fulfilment of this policy, so we consider it ‘in progress’.
There's always room for debate
