👶 After a decade of parent-led campaigning, Neonatal Leave finally comes into effect this Sunday (6th April). But we know thousands of parents, like Bethany, will have just missed out. That’s why we’re continuing to ask employers to do the right thing.

Bethany, a mechanical engineer from Herne Bay, gave birth to Arthur at 24 weeks.
