Non-compulsory guidance issued by head office also recognises fathers’ right to grieve after loss of a baby
Women working for the NHS will be entitled to two weeks’ leave if they have a miscarriage, in a move hailed as a major step to wider recognition of the trauma of baby loss.
NHS England announced on Wednesday that all staff who lose a baby before 24 weeks should receive up to 10 days’ paid leave to help them recover from the distress involved.
