Adoption: Support
Adoption and/or having a child via surrogacy can be a deeply meaningful but also emotionally demanding experience. We recognise that the process may involve unexpected challenges, delays, or loss.
If you are facing a difficult time during or after the adoption process, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Your line manager, OH or HR can help you access support, including time off, counselling services through our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), and any necessary workplace adjustments. We are committed to supporting you with empathy and care throughout your adoption journey.
Below are some of many support routes that may assist you in your individual circumstances:
