Supporting families through the most difficult circumstances

From 06 April 2026, eligible employees in England, Scotland and Wales have a new statutory entitlement: Bereaved Partner’s Paternity Leave – this landmark employment right has been designed to support fathers and partners who are coping with the death of a child’s mother, primary adopter, or intended parent during the first year of a child’s life or adoption placement.

Find out how employers should support bereaved families with legal protections, in our latest article.
