The independent Matthew Taylor review on employment practices in a modern economy is considering the impact of non-standard working arrangements on employment status and employment rights, and as part of his review he has considered a range of available papers, including Julie Deane’s Review. That review will be reporting in the summer.

We have also announced we will be looking at parental benefits for the self-employed.
