Last week, Talem Law received a few calls concerning employment law queries from working parents of disabled children. This got us thinking about the issue more generally and what legislation is in place which working parents may possibly (depending on the circumstances) avail themselves of to manage their professional obligations alongside their personal caring responsibilities. These are of interest to working parents generally but may be particularly useful for working parents of disabled children who have caring responsibilities too (this summary does not deal with employment rights of carers).
