Ms Jane Ann Duffy:

In response to the question on the work in parallel, the first recommendation of the report is that we would support employers to develop policies. We fully recognise that the leave in a vacuum is not enough and that came through very strongly in the consultations. Employers need to put in place policies so that there can be openness in the workplace and managers understand what to do when someone comes to them. That will help to create the confidence for employees. We have tendered for a partner who will help us to develop templates and provide training and support to employers.
