My experience of miscarriage at work, and the new pregnancy loss leave
I was asked by Ovum to write a personal piece for Baby Loss Awareness Week about my experience of miscarriage in the workplace, and what I think of the new rights for pregnancy loss leave.
It is a subject very close to my heart, both because of my own story and because of the conversations I have every week with women working out how much to share at work, how to ask for what they need, and how to keep their career moving when everything else feels uncertain. Recognising pregnancy loss in law is a meaningful step, and in the piece I share my own experience and my thoughts on what these new rights could mean for people going through loss at work.
If you have been through loss yourself, or you manage someone who has, I hope it gives you a little more language for a conversation that so often goes unspoken.
