We believe that any changes to the entitlement to time off for public duties should be made holistically, not on a role-by-role piecemeal basis, especially as we have not undertaken such a review for around half a century. That is why we are undertaking this review. The review will consider the case for including special constables alongside other roles, such as on-call firefighters and coastguard rescue officers. It will also look at bodies that no longer exist in the form mentioned in the legislation, such as the General Teaching Council for Wales, known as the Education Workforce Council since 2015 and currently included on the list of qualifying public duties.
