Neonatal leave and pay

We are currently updating our Neonatal Leave Policy in light of statutory legislation due to come in on the 6 April 2025. Should you wish to apply for neonatal leave please contact People & Culture.

Neonatal Care Leave supports parents of babies who require neonatal care (for at least seven consecutive days) before the baby reaches 28 days of life.

Employees who are entitled to family leave under this policy (e.g. maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave) will also be entitled to an additional period of Neonatal leave to add to the end of their family leave period (up to a maximum of 12 weeks).
