Q: “A woman has requested flexible working hours to enable her to look after a three year old child. However she is only the foster mother. Does she have any entitlement?”
A: Yes. If she has six months service she has the same rights as a biological mother. The right is available to people who will exercise parental responsibility such as natural parents, foster parents, guardians or adopters.
