The law now gives your people two weeks. Grief doesn't check a calendar
Specialist, confidential support for employees going through pregnancy loss, and practical guidance for the managers who want to get it right but don't know where to start.
Statutory leave is new. It isn't the whole answer.
1 in 4 pregnancies ends in loss, which means it's already happened somewhere in your organisation, whether or not anyone has said so.
Since April 2026, employees affected by a miscarriage before 24 weeks are entitled to statutory Parental Bereavement Leave and Pay for the first time.
It's a welcome change, and it covers two weeks.
Two weeks is a legal minimum, not a timeline for grief. Most people are back at their desk long before they're ready, and most line managers have never been told what to say when they walk back in.
Handled badly, that gap shows up as presenteeism, quiet resignations, and a workforce that has learned not to bring hard things to work.
Handled well, it's one of the clearest signals an employer can send about what kind of place this actually is to work.
Support built around the people actually involved
One-to-one coaching
Confidential sessions for the employee going through loss, at their own pace, entirely separate from HR or line management.
Manager guidance
Practical, plain-language briefings for line managers — what to say, what not to say, and how to support a return to work without making it worse.
Policy support
Help shaping a compassionate pregnancy loss policy that goes beyond the statutory minimum and reflects how your organisation actually wants to show up.
How it works
A confidential conversation
We talk through what's happened, what your organisation already offers, and where the gaps are.
A tailored plan
Coaching sessions, manager briefings, or policy input, whatever your organisation needs.
Ongoing support
Reviewed and adjusted over time, so it keeps working as circumstances change.
A straightforward way in, just a conversation, a plan, and support that adjusts as you need it to.
"Let's talk about what your people need."
