Our Goal: To help over?100 organisations complete essential training during?Baby Loss Awareness Week?
Despite the rate of occurrence, pregnancy loss is a subject that a lot of people are uncomfortable discussing, especially in the workplace, and many find it can be difficult to know what to do and what the right thing to say is. ?
With Baby Loss Awareness Week taking place from October 9th – 15th?2024?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 a Workplace Pregnancy Loss Training module that we aim to provide free to over 100 organisations this October, helping them educate their organisations and teams on how to approach this sensitive subject in a compassionate way. If you believe your Chambers might benefit from this, please forward this email to the person responsible for training or enrol your organisation today by clicking on the link here.
