11 Giving up work to care Is sometimes what a carers wants, but often Leads to big reductions in income which Carers Allowance does not replace Cuts carers off from earning a pension for their own retirement Leaves some carers extremely socially isolated May make it difficult ever to return to work, as confidence, skills and contacts are lost Often causes extra pressure, as caring becomes 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without a break
12 Combining caring with employment: key issues which make this possible for over 4 million carers Employees Need flexible support at work to combine work and care new rights and services are now in place - used by a minority, need to raise awareness Managers and employers Often want to retain and support employees who become carers Need guidance and support in doing this Experience shows there are significant benefits The state Has put legislation in place to support working carers Will be giving new support to carers wanting to return to work Now acknowledges it needs to act (Carers Strategy)
13 Recent legislation/national policy affecting carers, UK Date Legislation or National Policy 1976 Social Security (Invalid Care Allowance) Regulations 1995 Carers (Recognition and Services) Act st National Strategy for Carers: Caring About Carers 1999 Employment Relations Act 2000 Carers and Disabled Children Act 2002 Employment Act 2004 Carers (Equal Opportunities) Act Applies in England and Wales only 2006 Work and Families Act nd National Strategy for Carers: Carers at the Heart of 21st century families & communities 2010 Equality Act 2010 Recognised, Valued & Supported: Next Steps for the Carers Strategy Coalition Government
14 Flexible working options available under right to request legislation Flexi time/choosing when to work: usually with core period during which the employee must work Annualised hours: worked out over a year, often with some set shifts and options re other hours Compressed hours: agreed hours are worked over fewer days - e.g. 9 day fortnight Staggered hours: different starting, break and finishing times for employees in the same workplace Job sharing: sharing a job designed for one person with someone else Homeworking: working from home Part time: working less than the normal hours, perhaps by working fewer days per week
15 Employment practices Flexible working arrangements more widespread Employers agree most requests made under new law Employers for Carers Close link with carers movement (Carers UK) Good practice guidance, research, lobbying Regular events and website with extra support for members Membership includes: telecommunications, utilities, manufacturing, police, voluntary sector, retail, education, health, local authorities, consulting, insurance.

17 How employees benefit How the business benefits Enhanced self-esteem, loyalty, responsibility and autonomy A better atmosphere at work More effective communication Reciprocity we all work better when we are here Peace of mind, happier at home and at work Source: Who Cares Wins report (2006): Yeandle et al, London: Carers UK Productivity gains Cost savings recruitment, systems accommodation Customer satisfaction goes up More creativity and energy in the workforce Reduced sick leave Lower staff turnover A trust-based relationship worth its weight in gold
18 Concluding Remarks Backdrop: rising employment, commitment to work-life balance ; rising spending on innovations for carers Post 2008 new Coalition Government, major public spending cuts, increased unemployment 6m carers - needed because of demography not cuts PT employment strong feature for women, & increasing Key features in the UK: Strong carers movement Carers firmly on public policy agenda Trend towards flexibility in employment practices Direct engagement of employers But - will carers rights, support, recognition survive?
