The day-long event also includes presentations and discussion on the stages and responses to bereavement, the implications of people living longer, and the Carer (Scotland) Act.

“For example, businesses may have to make reasonable adjustments such as introducing flexible working arrangements, which could include allocating duties to other employees, as well as allowing the employee to work for as long as they’d like, in line with medical advice.”
