<p>The evaluation of the Shared Parental Leave and Pay scheme is ongoing. This has
included commissioning and interrogating information collected through large scale,
representative, surveys of employers and parents and a qualitative study of parents
who have used the scheme. The various data sources will help us to better understand
the barriers and enablers to parents taking Shared Parental Leave.</p><p> </p><p>We
are currently processing and analysing the data that we have collected. 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. However,
the evaluation of the Shared Parental Leave and Pay scheme remains important for Government
and we will publish our findings in due course.</p>
