Part 2 of the Local Government (Wales) Measure 2011(1) (“the Measure”) makes available to members of local authorities entitlement to a period of family absence.
The Measure creates an entitlement to five types of family absence: maternity absence; newborn absence; adopter’s absence; new adoption absence and parental absence. The entitlement created by the Measure is subject to members satisfying conditions prescribed by the Welsh Ministers in regulations.
These Regulations prescribe the conditions that members of local authorities must satisfy to be entitled to a period of family absence. The Regulations also make provision, amongst other things, about the extent of the various periods of absence; the cancellation of periods of absence and bringing absence to an end.
These Regulations are divided into six Parts. Parts 1 to 5 deal with the different types of absence. Part 6 makes general provision applicable in relation to all types of family absence.
Part 1 makes provision relating to maternity absence. Regulation 3 prescribes the conditions that a member must satisfy to be entitled to a period of maternity absence. The conditions include notification requirements and, where requested by the head of democratic services, the production of evidence. Part 1 also includes provision for the start of maternity absence, variation of the intended start, duration, bringing to an end and cancellation.
Part 2 makes provision relating to newborn absence. Regulation 9 sets out the conditions as to relationship with a child or the child’s mother and responsibility for the upbringing for that child required for a member to be entitled to newborn absence. Part 2 also includes provision for duration of newborn absence, when absence may be taken, cancellation of absence and the start date of a period of newborn absence.
Part 3 makes provision relating to adopter’s absence. Regulation 14 prescribes the conditions that a member must satisfy to be entitled to a period of adopter’s absence. Part 3 also makes provision for duration of adopter’s absence, when absence may be taken, the start date of a period of adopter’s absence and cancellation.
Part 4 makes provision relating to new adoption absence. Regulation 20 prescribes the conditions that a member must satisfy to be entitled to a period of new adoption absence. It sets out the relationship requirements between a member and a child’s adopter and that the member must have responsibility for the upbringing of a child. Part 4 also makes provision for the duration of new adoption absence, when absence may be taken, cancellation and the start date of a period of new adoption absence.
Part 5 makes provision relating to parental absence. Regulation 26 prescribes the conditions to be satisfied for a member to be entitled to a period of parental absence. The conditions relate to the responsibility for the care of a child. It also sets out the notification requirements and evidence to be produced to the head of democratic services where required. Regulations 27 to 31 provide for the duration of absence, when absence may be taken, cancellation, bringing parental absence to an end and the start date of a period of parental absence.
Part 6 makes provision relating to record keeping, duties to inform, cancellation of family absence by the local authority, complaints and standing orders relating to members whilst taking a period of family absence.
