Two weeks of paid leave for mothers and partners who experience pregnancy loss

Providing bereavement leave recognises the significant impact of pregnancy loss and promotes better mental health and well-being for those affected. It also sends a compassionate message that the UK government understands the importance of allowing parents time to grieve and recover after such a heartbreaking experience. A loss before 24 weeks is no less painful than a later loss and the emotional, physical and mental toll it takes on parents must be acknowledged.
