What to ask your employer when juggling work with caring

You may be one of the UK’s 3 million working carers, dealing with the stresses of what might seem like two jobs – one paid, one unpaid – and meeting the needs of both.  You may feel unable to disclose your caring responsibilities at work in case you are seen as less able to do your paid job.  With the right support from an employer and the right support from the statutory services, you may very well be able to do both.  If your employer understands your caring role and the best way to support you at work, then you will be able to support your employer in the job you do. You also now have the Work and Families Act which is now in force. To learn more about this Act click here
