More to say from our research on how problematic a lack of appropriate policy & support can be.

Fertility Awareness Week starts tomorrow.

Great to see more orgs developing policies/provisions, media attention & private members bill going through Parliament, but much work still to be done

Want to do something in your org? Here's some tips...

#IVF #wellbeing #EDI
1. Start a narrative that people can connect to. Consider posters/a blog and signpost to relevant support services internally/externally @FertilityNUK @BICAuk @gatewaywomen @ChildlessWeek

2. Appreciate the highly individualised nature of complex fertility journeys, and ensure line managers are aware too & know how they can help. This might be via policy development, training and resources.

In @cipd webinar on pregnancy & baby loss
Survey insights from @RSuff:
Just 1 in 3 orgs have a policy
Just 1 in 4 Senior decision-makers say their org has open/supportive climate
21% staff received no support
1 in 4 staff considered leaving job
Only half felt able to disclose /1
Framework for support:
- Challenge taboo and raise awareness
- Open, inclusive & supportive culture
- Leave & absense (compassion and flexibility)
- Line managers (empathy and practical help) /2
#BabyLossAwarenessWeek
Rosie Leverton talks of @tommys research:
- 60% parents felt managers wanted to support them, but only 33% said they actually knew what to do
- issue with people at work not acknowledging the loss or using inappropriate language
