Neonatal care leave
We understand that the arrival of a baby needing neonatal care can be an emotional and challenging time. If your baby is born prematurely or requires specialist care shortly after birth, we want you to know that your focus should be on your family.
We are here to support you with time away from work so you can be present during this critical period. Please speak with your manager or HR team when you're ready, and we’ll guide you through the options available to ensure you have the space and support you need.
Neonatal care leave is designed to assist new parents of babies who are admitted into neonatal care. You will continue to be paid your normal rate of pay while taking neonatal care leave provided if you meet the eligibility criteria.

This entitlement is in addition to other forms of parental leave, such as maternity, paternity, or shared parental leave. Neonatal Care Leave can be taken after the conclusion of other statutory leave entitlements.
