We will also run a public consultation in 2026 on employment support for carers balancing work with care. This will provide the public, including carers, charities and businesses, with the opportunity to directly share their views on how employers should best support carers in the workplace. I hope this assurance to the House demonstrates our willingness to engage openly and honestly with all stakeholders throughout the review. I reiterate that this Government are wholly committed to supporting unpaid carers, and as such have offered new opportunities to ensure that all views on that support are carefully considered.
