Introduction
Welcome to Your Parental Leave Handbook
We understand that starting or growing a family is a deeply personal and meaningful journey. Whether you're planning, expecting, adopting, or supporting a partner, we want you to feel fully supported every step of the way. This handbook is designed to guide you through the different types of parental leave available, along with the support, resources, and signposting you may find helpful during this time.
If you're on this journey in any way, we hope this guide provides the key information you need and helps you feel confident and cared for. We encourage you to share your news with us whenever you feel ready. In some roles—particularly those that are safety-critical—early notification allows us to work together to plan any necessary support, adjustments, or leave to ensure your wellbeing.
Please be assured that any conversations will be handled with the utmost sensitivity and confidentiality. Your wellbeing is our top priority, and we’re here to support you in every way we can.
If you have any questions or would like to speak in confidence, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your HR Service Partner.
