<p>We are currently assessing the responses from the consultation on high-level options
for reforming parental leave and pay. We have also conducted a formal evaluation of
the Shared Parental Leave and Pay scheme, including large-scale, representative surveys
of employers and parents. Together, these will give us a fuller picture of how well
the current system of parental leave and pay is working for parents and employers.</p><p>
</p><p>We are currently processing and analysing the data that we have collected and
will consider this in tandem to the information that we have collected through the
consultation. This has taken longer than expected due to the impact of Covid-19 on
our research partners and because we have necessarily prioritised work on supporting
parents during the pandemic. We will publish our findings in due course.</p>
