Closed petition Rename maternity leave to child bereavement leave for people who've lost babies.
Closed on
When my daughter died I was still entitled to maternity leave and pay, which was good.
However it left me having to explain where the baby was when I said I was off on maternity. I felt like a fraud.
I think for those who have lost it would be helpful to get same time and pay but under a different name.
