Carer’s Support Policy Writers

What are Carer’s Support Policies?

Carer’s support policies outline how organisations assist employees who have responsibilities for caring for dependants, such as children, elderly relatives or individuals with disabilities.

Balancing work with caring duties can be challenging, and a clear policy ensures that carers are supported with flexibility, understanding and access to resources, while helping the organisation retain valuable staff.

What Do Carer’s Support Policies Cover?

A carer’s support policy typically includes:

• A statement of commitment to supporting employees with caring responsibilities

• Guidance on flexible working options, including part-time, remote or adjusted hours

• Entitlement to carers’ leave in line with UK legislation, including emergency time off for dependants

• Access to support services such as employee assistance programmes or counselling

• Confidentiality and respect when employees disclose caring responsibilities

• Guidance for managers on handling requests and providing appropriate adjustments

• Procedures for applying for formal carers’ leave or flexible working arrangements

• Signposting to external organisations and resources for carers

• Links to flexible working, wellbeing, equality and diversity and annual leave policies

A clear policy helps employees feel recognised and supported in balancing their dual responsibilities at home and at work.

It also supports compliance with the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the Carer’s Leave Act 2023, which introduced new statutory rights for carers in the UK.

By embedding carer’s support into workplace practice, organisations can improve staff wellbeing, reduce turnover and foster a culture of understanding and inclusivity.
