Flexible working provides employees with the ability to make it easier to balance work and caring responsibilities. All qualifying employees, including those who are district nurses, have a right to request an adjustment to their working hours and work patterns. Where the request is refused an appeal can be made to an employment tribunal and further action can be considered on the grounds of discrimination.
