The Department for International Trade is committed to supporting those members of our workforce with caring responsibilities. Building a diverse and inclusive department continues to be a key priority. For carers specifically we have adopted the Civil Service Carers Passport and aligned our policies to the Civil Service Carers Charter developed by Cabinet Office. We also have policies to support flexible working and provide access to special leave and career breaks. All employees have access to our Employee Assistance Programme and we have active employee networks for carers.

A library deposit has been made with a list of workplace benefits provided to the department’s staff with caring responsibilities.
