🎉 It’s official! People juggling paid employment and unpaid care will have a #RightToCarersLeave for the very first time.

The Carer’s Leave Bill has received Royal Assent, meaning it will be the law for all employers in England, Scotland and Wales to provide carer’s leave. 🧵

Don’t miss you chance to have your say in the Leisure Services Review in Gateshead Council!

The consultation period closes tomorrow and it is crucial that as many people as possible have had their say.
