WRITTEN CONFIRMATION
6.1
We will ask you to confirm the following information in writing within 28 days of starting any period of parental bereavement leave:
(a) your name;
(b) the date the child died or was stillborn;
(c) the dates of paid or unpaid parental bereavement leave taken; and
(d) your relationship to the child.

STILLBIRTHS, NEONATAL DEATHS, ADOPTIONS AND SURROGACY
7.1
Entitlement to maternity leave and pay (see our Maternity Leave Policy) is not affected if your child has died or been stillborn. You can take maternity leave in addition to parental bereavement leave. You may be entitled to adoption leave and pay as a result of a child being placed with you for adoption, or because you are an intended parent under a surrogacy arrangement (see our Adoption Leave Policy). If the child has died or been stillborn, adoption leave entitlement runs for another eight weeks from the end of the week in which the child died (unless it would already have ended sooner). This is in addition to your right to parental bereavement leave. You may be entitled to paternity leave and pay as a result of the birth of a child (including a birth to a surrogate mother), or the placement of a child with you for adoption (see our Paternity Leave Policy). If your child has died or been stillborn you can take paternity leave in addition to parental bereavement leave.
