👶 After a decade of parent-led campaigning, Neonatal Leave finally comes into effect this Sunday (6th April). But we know thousands of parents, like Bethany, will have just missed out. That’s why we’re continuing to ask employers to do the right thing. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

After a decade of campaigning Neonatal Leave is finally here, giving parents of premature and sick babies the time they so desperately need. We are so incredibly proud of the Smallest Things parent-led campaign which has bought about this historic change, but there’s more to do!
