The proposed Miscarriage Leave Bill has gained the support of at least eight charities along with 48 MPs. There is currently no provision in place to support grieving parents through their loss before 24 weeks of pregnancy.
Pregnancy loss charities across the country have joined more than 40 MPs in fight for at least three-days of paid miscarriage leave in the UK.
The Miscarriage Association believes that paid leave would allow parents time off to recover while recognising the significance of pregnancy loss. “We wholeheartedly support this bill and hope the government will take this opportunity to support people at what can be an extremely difficult and distressing time.”
Ahead of the bill’s second reading, Angela Crawley MP has written to new Prime Minister Liz Truss and secretary of state for business, energy and industrial strategy Jacob Rees-Mogg.
