Minutes:

The Executive received a report which recommended to Council the adoption of the Caring for Children and Young People Policy.  It was noted that the Policy was an HR policy for Woking Borough Council employees.  The Executive was advised that other issues, such as child sickness and termination for medical reasons, were covered through compassionate grounds with a high degree of empathy for employees.

Reason:   The Council has a duty to provide information on rights and entitlements when an employee wishes to take leave to care for a child or young person. Incorporating them into one policy document aims to centralise all relevant information to aid ease of access and understanding.
