Due to the migration of IT systems, the FCDO is unable to provide indicate timescales for Parental leave at this time.

The FCDO's Paternity Leave offer enables staff to take one or two weeks' statutory paternity leave. This enables staff to take the necessary time off whilst balancing work and home commitments.
