PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Carers (9 June 2020)
Question Asked
Asked by:
Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat)
Answer
The table below shows the number of staff who responded positively to the question: ‘Do you look after or give help or support to any family members, friends, neighbours or others who have a long-term physical or mental illness or disability, or problems related to old age?’ in the Department’s annual People Survey from 2016 to 2019.
This is based on the number of people (rounded to the nearest 10) responding to the question and may not fully represent the number of carers in the Department.
Caring responsibilities may have changed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Department’s staff are being encouraged to reflect this in an amended or new Carer’s Passport.
