Parents who experience a miscarriage before 24 weeks of pregnancy will be entitled to bereavement leave under a planned law change.
The government is set to amend the Employment Rights Bill to give parents the legal right to take time off work to grieve if they experience pregnancy loss at any stage.
As it stands, bereavement leave is only available to parents who lose an unborn child after 24 weeks of pregnancy.
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said the change will give "people time away from work to grieve".
