AnnotationThe Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) consultation document, "Work and families: choice and flexibility" (www.dti.gov.uk/er/choice_flexibility_consultation.... mainly concerns families and their childcare responsibilities. Carers UK's response focuses on the section on flexible working, to draw attention to the needs of those caring for a sick or disabled relative. It puts the case for extending the scope of the law on flexible working to carers, with case studies to demonstrate the economic, business, social and demographic reasons for doing so. (RH).
