Asked by:

Answer
The Office of the Secretary of State for Wales (OSSW) is not an employer in its own right. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) provide employment services on our behalf. We are fully committed to supporting staff who are carers, but do not hold information on the number of staff who have caring responsibilities.
The Department follows MoJ polices by offering a range of flexible working options to staff with caring responsibilities, enabling them to work in a way which best suits them. These include special leave, term-time working, job shares and compressed hours. Staff also have access to MoJ networks for carers.
