Note: For a summary of the statutory rights in work which may be of interest to you as a carer, download our factsheet ' Your rights in work' or our 'Let's talk about flexible working' guide for more information and tips. Some employers provide better rights to flexible working than the basic rights outlined in this guidance so it’s a good idea to check your contract of employment, staff handbook, HR policies or letter of appointment, as it may provide you with better entitlement. "The support my organisation has given me as a carer makes me more committed to them."
