	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2019 answer text <p>The Department is conducting a short, focussed internal review of the provisions for parents of premature babies and sick babies and those that experience multiple births. The purpose of this work is to obtain a high-level understanding of the barriers to participating in the labour market that these parents can face. It would not be appropriate to announce future policy without first establishing an appropriate evidence base.</p><p>BEIS officials are working with organisations who represent the interests of these parents (The Smallest Things, Bliss, and TAMBA) to better understand the issues that parents can face and have also held focus groups with a small number of parents themselves. This will inform our policy consideration.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 11/02/2019 17:20:15 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
