<p>This Government is determined to make Britain the best place in the world to work.
As announced in the Queens’ Speech, we will be bringing forward an Employment Rights
Bill to deliver the greatest reform of workers’ rights in over 20 years. This will
include measures to introduce an entitlement to leave for unpaid carers.</p><p>The
Government’s proposal is to introduce a week of unpaid Carer’s Leave. This will be
in addition to existing employment rights, such as the right to request flexible working,
annual leave and the right to time off for family and dependants which help employees
balance work with caring responsibilities. In taking this forward, the Department
will continue to engage widely to understand how carers’ needs can best be met.</p>
