Department for Work and Pensions: Kinship Care
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what support her Department provides to its employees that are kinship carers.
Answered by Andrew Western
The potential support the Department for Work and Pensions provides to its employees that are kinship carers are, according to each person’s needs, a combination of flexi hours, flexible working patterns, special leave, adjusted duties and a carers’ passport to ensure that effective support can be transported when employees change jobs within DWP. Our employee assistance programme also offers wider support, which includes employee counselling, critical incident and bereavement support and legal/finance advice and signposting.
