This Parental Bereavement Leave Policy template can be used by organisations to outline the compassionate and practical support they offer to employees during an extremely difficult time and is aligned with statutory entitlements under the Parental Bereavement (Leave and Pay) Act 2018. It also outlines the support available to employees who experience the loss of a child under the age of 18, including stillbirth after 24 weeks of pregnancy.
