Government urged to introduce universal right of bereavement leave as ‘time to grieve’ early pregnancy loss

The government is under mounting pressure to introduce a new right of bereavement leave for women across the UK who lose their baby before 24 weeks’ gestation. That happens 250,000 times every year.
