Torfaen County Borough Council

Torfaen County Borough Council recognises the importance of supporting staff who are balancing work with caring responsibilities and helping them deal with the challenges this can bring.

We commit to raising awareness of the issues faced by staff who are unpaid carers and ensure they feel recognised, valued and listened to in the workplace. We will also signpost to the help, support and information available internally and externally.

Our staff play an important role in delivering services to our communities and we want them to be able to maintain a good work-life balance to support their well being .
