uin	HL17904
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>In general, employment law (for example through the Employment Rights Act 1996) provides protection to ‘employees’ or ‘workers’. Many volunteers are not employees or workers, and so do not have the same legal status and protections as paid employees or workers. However, depending on the details of the volunteering arrangement, it is possible for volunteers to be workers in some cases. Some guidance on the definition of a worker is provided on the gov.uk website..</p><p> </p><p>The government has consulted on whether volunteers are adequately protected by the protections within the Equality Act 2010, and responses to that consultation are currently being considered.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is also working with charities and the charity regulator to encourage safe cultures within charities that protect volunteers.</p><p> </p><p>The gov.uk website explains what rights a volunteer may have.</p> answering member printed Lord Duncan of Springbank question first answered 08/10/2019 15:44:29 answering member 4686 label Biography information for Lord Duncan of Springbank

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>In a ‘no deal’ European Union exit, EU citizens living in another state but travelling regularly to and from the United Kingdom as a frontier worker on or before exit day will continue to be entitled for National Health Service treatment without charge.</p><p>The Government is aiming to agree with the EU or with individual Member States continuing the existing reciprocal healthcare arrangements after exit day until at least 31 December 2020. Where such agreement is reached, an EU citizen who becomes a frontier worker after exit day would be eligible for NHS treatment without charge, under the terms of that arrangement. Where no agreement is reached, a frontier worker from that country may be charged for their care unless an exemption applies or the service that they are accessing is one which is free for everyone.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 08/10/2019 15:44:58 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
