It was a great privilege to lead a debate on my Carer's Leave Bill today and to have it pass onto the next stage of becoming law.
The Bill would create a right would give an estimated 2.3 million carers across the UK a statutory right to take five days of unpaid leave per year.
Looking forward to speaking about the #TriangleofCare at the Young Carers and parental mental illness webinar #worldmentalhealthawarenessday hosted by @CaringTogether and @ourtimecharity

We will be raising with the UK government the concerns we’re hearing from #UnpaidCarers about the impact removing free Lateral Flow Tests will have on them.
Piling the cost of LFTs on to the additional costs unpaid carers already face, simply isn’t fair 👉bit.ly/3h81zda
