Your family and child entitlements
When you or your partner gives birth, adopts or looks after a child, you may be entitled to take time off to help with caring for your child and work/life balance, or to compliment your childcare needs:
Parental leave
You may also be entitled to take more time off through parental leave which is likely to be unpaid.
Flexible working
You could try flexible working.
Child benefit
Remember to claim child benefit for new born children.
Time off for family and dependants
In the case of an emergency, involving anybody who is dependent on you, the law allows you to take some time off to sort the emergency out.
