In addition to our member benefits, Carers UK and EfC will be providing resources to support the implementation of the Carer's Leave Act as part of EfC membership. This will include a detailed guide on the key provisions of the new law, an online training session and a training slide deck to roll out to managers. Key contacts from EfC member organisations will be notified when this resource is available to access, following the release of secondary regulations regarding the Act.
