CIPP Webcast on parental bereavement leave and pay 26 September 2018
As announced recently the Parental Bereavement (Leave and Pay) Act 2018 is due to come into force in 2020 and creates a statutory right to time off work for employed parents, with pay where eligibility requirements are met, following the loss of a child.
Many of the details are still unknown and we are waiting for the government to respond to the consultation which was published in April 2018.
This short webcast takes you through the areas that are yet to be set in regulation and which draft guidance will need to include to provide reassurance to parents and to provide employers with the details required to implement this new statutory right into their policies and procedures.

Parental bereavement leave and pay 6 November 2018
The Government has published its response to the parental bereavement leave and pay consultation which confirms key aspects of the policy to be set in regulations.
As a result of the responses received, government has taken the following decisions: • the policy will use a broad definition of a ‘bereaved parent’ centred on the notion of ‘primary carer’, with the guiding principle being that the relationship should be parental in nature • parental bereavement leave and pay can be taken as a single block, or as 2 separate weeks • employed parents will have a window of 56 weeks to use the entitlement • notice requirements will be flexible and will distinguish between leave taken very soon and leave taken at a later period • evidence requirements will mirror existing requirements used for other family leave and pay rights, where it is practicable to do so.
