title: Notes and queries.
abstract: What's happening in the other three countries? The Scottish minister Susan Deacon launched a package of six guidelines in January including what the Scottish Executive (SE) refers to as family friendly policies. The SE is in the process of developing a people governance standard equivalent to the IWL in England. Wales and Northern Ireland are likely to follow suit but are still working on their human resource strategies and haven't got specific policies on employee-friendly working yet.
