Carer’s Leave
Report by
Joint Secretary (Teachers’ Side) 
Background 
Renfrewshire Council employees who have caring responsibilities can now
register on the Council’s Wellbeing Hub for additional leave subject to
specified criteria in order to deal with appointments, emergencies and other
duties required. Renfrewshire teachers have been told that this provision is
not available to them. 
Action 
The Teachers’ Side is requesting that, in the interests of equity and the
furtherance of teacher wellbeing, the Carer’s Leave provision be afforded to
Renfrewshire teachers and brought within the framework of the Council’s
Special Leave Policy for teachers.
