<p>The 2019 manifesto committed to introduce one week of leave for unpaid carers.
The Government consulted on proposals to deliver this commitment in 2020. The Government
response to this consultation confirmed that Carer’s Leave will be a day 1 right,
available to all employees who are providing care for a dependant with a long-term
care need. Eligible employees will be entitled to 5 days of unpaid leave per year,
which will be available to take flexibly in individual or half days.</p>
