Possible 6 months dependance leave
Long-term care for a dependant: It can be hard balancing work and caring for a dependant who is
ill or unable to look after themselves. In these circumstances you should speak to your manager, who
can help you explore your options. These may include alternative shift patterns or a flexible working
arrangement. In longer term situations, unpaid leave of up to six months or a career
break of up to two years can be arranged.

The above is in normal times which I'm posting just to point out.
Q1. A colleague has a child whose school is closed and needs to be at home to look after them – how do I support the individual?
Where a colleague has to look after a dependant, such as a child, our normal approach applies. Colleagues can take holiday, unpaid time off or work flexibly. They should agree this with their line manager...

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Think about it this way, how many NHS workers have kids?
How are they going to square that circle?
If the schools close are the teachers getting paid?
Teachers tend to get paid during school hols but this could be six months and what about the teaching assistants, jannies and those guys that used to wheel in the massive TVs (not sure what they do now) I'm pretty sure they only get paid during term time.
It's a whole clusterfuck of issues that Boris is going to have to dig deep to sort out.
