Petition Create a right to paid leave for women and men following all miscarriages

Most women see miscarriage, no matter at which week the pregnancy ended, as losing a child. The Government should recognise this in law by creating a right for mothers and biological fathers to take paid leave from day one following all miscarriages.

More details

Following a miscarriage a woman is often left with pain and heartache, not to mention heavy bleeding. The thought of returning to work can be crippling and being left on your own while your partner returns to work can leave you feeling down and depressed. A miscarriage can also be just as painful for the father so they should also be entitled to paid leave from work.
