"No one should have to fight for time to grieve." The UK government previously confirmed new legal rights to unpaid time off work after suffering a bereavement - but have now set out exactly who it will apply to. Parents in Great Britain who experience a miscarriage before 24 weeks of pregnancy will be entitled to unpaid time off work. The new rights also cover step and half relatives, as well as foster, kinship care and adoptive relationships who experience a bereavement, the government has said. The changes will come into effect from April next year for employees in Great Britain. Tap the link in @BBCNews’s bio to read what the reaction has been. (Images: Getty) #BBCNews
