TW pregnancy loss.

At Kindred, we believe workplace policies should reflect the realities of people’s lives, including the difficult moments.

Since 2022, we’ve offered additional paid compassionate leave for employees affected by miscarriage or pregnancy loss, including partners as part of our Path to Parenthood Policy.

This year, we recognised a need to take that support further by introducing a dedicated Pregnancy Loss Policy, designed to provide clearer guidance, practical support and greater flexibility for those affected.

The policy includes paid leave, phased return-to-work support, flexibility around workload and wellbeing check-ins, alongside guidance for managers on how to respond appropriately and compassionately.

The policy was shaped by lived experience and informed by guidance and research from organisations including the Miscarriage Association and Tommy’s, whose resources helped shape our approach:

We’ve chosen to make the policy publicly available in the hope it may be useful to other organisations looking to strengthen support for employees experiencing pregnancy loss.
