Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether her Department offers (a) paid time off work and (b) other support to employees who become kinship carers.

The Cabinet Office does not currently specifically offer (a) paid time off work and (b) other support to employees who become kinship carers.

However, the Cabinet Office has other mechanisms in place to support employees who are kinship carers, in parity with other forms of care leave.
