Parents to gain right to leave for miscarriage bereavement

July 07, 2025

Parents in Britain will be granted a right to bereavement leave after suffering a miscarriage as part of the government's employment rights bill, it has been confirmed.

- Sarah Butler

In a change to the current law made via amendments to the bill, mothers and their partners will be given the legal right to at least a week's bereavement leave if they suffer a loss before the 24th week of pregnancy.

The deputy prime minister, Angela Rayner, has said it will give "people time away from work to grieve".

Under current employment law, parents are entitled to up to two weeks of bereavement leave if they experience a stillbirth after 24 weeks of pregnancy or if a child dies before they turn 18.
