This is our initiative to help current civil servants
with specific caring responsibilities, enabling them to be
supported at work as a result of the care they provide with
confidence.
Why Are Carer's Passports Needed?
We estimate that there could be as many as 30,000 civil
servants who juggle their caring responsibilities with their
jobs and more and more of them are approaching us for help with
their caring duties.
What does a Carer's Passport do?
The Passport provides carers, and their line managers, with
information about how the individual's responsibilities impact
their work. It includes any solutions agreed between the carer and
his or her line manager, for example, more flexible working
hours.
Carer's Passport will ideally stay with the employee should he
or she be transferred within their department or across the civil
service. It is available to any new line manager so they are aware
of the employee's caring role and any solutions agreed.
