- Motion reference: S6M-02246
That the Parliament believes that Carers Rights Day 2021, which is being marked on 25 November, is the ideal time for employers and beyond to applaud the work carried out by carers in society; understands the need for carers to work in a supportive environment with a positive culture; further understands the vital role that carers play in society, particularly since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic; appreciates that potential changes to legislation regarding the introduction of carers leave, and administrative changes in the right to request flexible working, further demonstrates the need to support carers in their working life, and commends Carer Positive for the work that it is doing in highlighting the need for continued support to carers.
