Update 14 January 2020

During the third lockdown, Camden has increased dependency leave again from 5 days to 10 days. Dependency leave is to help cover any exceptional circumstances where the care requirements of your dependent/s mean that it's not possible for you to work at all, or for some periods of time.

You can also use dependency leave flexibly – including taking part days if you're sharing caring responsibilities with your partner for example.

There is no need to use up your other leave entitlements – such as annual leave – before receiving paid dependency leave.

Dependency leave policy was altered during the height of lockdown. The policy reverted back to Camden's usual policy and procedure in September 2020.
