Does anyone know if you will be excused jury service if you are looking after a baby? I have a 4 month old and have been called up in 6 weeks time. I know you can defer for up to 12 months but I am not sure if I am returning to work next summer and might therefore have no childcare in place then anyway(and even then it would be 3 days a week or less so would have no childcare the other days and no family nearby to help). If I just say I'm the primary carer for a baby will that suffice?
