Employers should hang their heads in shame if they don't treat there staff (who are there best asset) with compassion at such a difficult time. Well done Jess for speaking out.

Didn't even realise this was the current law. More thank happy to support. Wonderful you are fighting to change this and very sorry for your losses.

A miscarriage IS a bereavement however you look at it. I am strongly of the belief that longer should be given in the form of paid leave to recover from this sort of experience as a right - not a discretion.

I have had 4 miscarriages all of which were at different stages and all under 20 weeks. I was lucky with my employer giving me all the time I needed paid. However, I know some people are not that lucky.

I am signing because it is a horrendous ordeal to go throughand you shouldn't have to worry about time off.! And two days as a bare minimum I think should be compulsory.

Well said Jess. Something we probably don't even think about until it happens to us or someone we know. Well done for trying to put it right xx

Families need recovery time and not to have to worry about making ends meet or putting food on the table

I had to deliver my little boy at 17 weeks due to an infection that would have killed me if I didn't. I had to quit my job due to stress afterwards
