MPs call for miscarriage bereavement leave
Briefly

MPs are urging for the Employment Rights Bill to provide paid bereavement leave for all pregnancy losses, not just those after 24 weeks, citing the need for support.
Anna Malnutt's experience highlights the emotional toll of miscarriage. She returned to work just three days after her loss, feeling uncertain about acceptable bereavement time.
Despite her initial support at work, Anna's repeated losses led her to struggle with mental health, eventually leaving her job, indicating the need for better bereavement policies.
Anna believes that having paid bereavement leave would have been 'life changing,' not just for her but for her husband, allowing them both space to grieve.
