Raising Awareness, Supporting Compassion

Help us create a kinder, stronger workplace

Briefed: Supporting Businesses with FREE Awareness Training

Baby Loss is a major issue that has a significant impact on people in the workplace and we believe it's time to take action.

We want to help organisations and their employees make a difference, by equipping them with the tools needed to address such a challenging issue.

We are immensely proud to partner with leading Law Firm Partner and baby loss campaigner, Keeley Lengthorn, to develop our Workplace Pregnancy Loss Training module that we aims to help them educate their organisations and teams on how to approach this sensitive subject in a compassionate way.

Why is baby loss awareness important to us?

Keeley's Story

Keeley Lengthorn, Head of Public Law Children and Partner at RWK Goodman, has been campaigning for a new bill to be passed which would provide statutory leave for parents who suffer the loss of a child under 24 weeks – known as George’s Law.

This bill was introduced by Angela Crawley MP and last year made its way through Parliament. It was successful at the first reading but, unfortunately, did not go any further. Keeley is now campaigning to have the Parental and Bereavement Act 2018 amended.

This is very personal to Keeley, who has lost three children in the space of three years and believes it’s time for the law to change.

In the absence of protection at a statutory level, our training is intended to provide organisations with guidance on how to support a colleague and ensure there is a transparent and effective baby loss policy available to employees within all organisations in the UK.

"Keeley’s story resonates with me personally and with many other barristers, solicitors, colleagues, and friends. I’m so grateful that we have the opportunity to support Keeley and many others by raising awareness of these issues, discussing how to support colleagues at work, and how the law needs to change.

We are immensely proud to create this initiative and, as a training and education platform, we have the unique ability to reach a vast audience and make Workplace Pregnancy Loss training accessible to everyone. This will undoubtedly contribute to a more supportive and understanding workplace for all

Our Workplace Pregnancy Loss Training

Who is this training designed for?

This training is specifically designed for all employees and managers who are seeking to:

Support their colleagues who have experienced the loss of a pregnancy.
Create a comfortable working environment for all.
Acquire practical skills in order to provide meaningful assistance to individuals going through this difficult experience.

"Interesting course to raise awareness. We agree firms should do more for their employees and training should be provided in particular to employers as they are the ones that could trigger a change within their company."

(HR Manager, Law Firm)
"It was a very informative course and highlighted the complexities of loss for parents.  It was helpful and informative going forwards should I unfortunately have a colleague who is going through this very difficult sad time in their life.  A well-presented and worthwhile course."

(Receptionist, Business)
"It has been useful to consider how the person that has suffered the loss will be feeling and how to approach them.  Before the training I probably would have avoided the subject for fear of causing them  any undue upset but now I realise it is important to acknowledge their loss and take the lead from them.  The training is particularly helpful because it has been written by someone who has actually experienced loss themselves. "

(Senior Clerk, Chambers)
"I have found this to be extremely informative. One of my team members has lost 2 babies in the past 6 months. I could see the emotional and physical impact it has taken on her. I worried constantly that I may not have been supporting her enough, but having this has given me a greater understanding and I can continue my support towards her."

(Marketing Manager, Business)
