Related to the matter raised by Ms Mulholland, Women's Aid highlighted the additional leave to cover exceptional circumstances. It would help us in recommending additional leave if Ms Benson gave us a sense of the kind of time required and the complexities faced by women and children experiencing domestic violence and abuse.

Ms Benson might expand on the need for guidance to assist employers when developing policies on dealing with that and related matters.
