Having a job and caring for someone

Use the prompts that are helpful to you. You can write, draw, or ask someone to record your own words.

What would help me at work?

Write the practical change or time off you need. Keep private details about someone else to a minimum.

Which route fits?

Planned carer’s leave, an unexpected emergency, a flexible-working request, or an employer’s own policy?

Dates and notice

Record the dates needed, when you asked and who received the request.

Pay and other effects

Check pay, pension and benefits before agreeing a change. Note who will advise you.

Support while I am working

Agree with the person who will give any replacement care and what happens in an emergency.

Agreement and review

Record what was agreed, whether it is temporary or permanent, the start date and a review date.
