Closed petition Equal rights for Fathers-to-be to be paid leave for antenatal appointments.
Closed on
In a society where equal rights matter, I believe Fathers-to-be should be allowed the same right as the Mother-to-be. This is the right of paid time off for antenatal care, of which equally includes antenatal or parenting classes if they’ve been recommended by a doctor or midwife.
