<p>The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) implemented the Shared
Parental Leave Policy in April 2015. Since the policy was introduced, 12 males have
taken Shared Parental Leave and the average length of leave was 3.5 months. Uptake
of Shared Parental Leave has increased each year since the policy was launched.</p><p>
</p><p>Shared Parental Leave can give parents more flexibility in how they share the
care of their child in the first year following birth or adoption. Working closely
with the Parent's Network, DCMS is actively promoting SPL including having all policy
and guidance on the intranet available for all staff to view in order to encourage
staff to consider using the flexibility.</p>
