PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Department for International Trade: Carers (9 June 2020)

The Department for International Trade is committed to supporting those members of our workforce with caring responsibilities. Building a diverse and inclusive department

continues to be a key priority. For carers specifically we adopted the Civil Service Carers Passport and aligned our policies to the Civil Service Carers Charter developed by Cabinet Office. We also have policies to support flexible working and provide access to special leave and career breaks. All employees have access to our Employee Assistance Programme and we have active employee networks for carers and parents.

We do not hold data centrally on how many staff in the department have a specific caring responsibility as arrangements are managed locally between the individuals and their line manager.
