(asked on 8th October 2024) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment the Cabinet Committee on the Future of Work has made of the potential merits of improving employment rights for kinship carers.
Answered by
Justin Madders
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)
The Government greatly values kinship carers who come forward to care for children who cannot live with their parents.
The Government has committed in the Plan to Make Work Pay to review the system of parental leave to ensure that it better supports working families.
It is a long established precedent that information about the discussions that have taken place at Cabinet and its committees is not normally made public.
