Who can request to work flexibly?
From 6 April 2009 the formal right to request flexible working was extended to parents of children 16 or under. This is in addition to parents of disabled children under 18 and people caring for adults in need of care. Full details of these flexible working regulations and the official appllication form FW(A) can be found on the Department for Business website here. Of course, anyone has the right to informally make a request, and our proven productivity benefits, cost savings and improvments to customer service all help to make the business case!
