Workplace support for employees who lose a baby

Hi, my name is Sian. I am fundraising to create and distribute resources which will educate businesses on ways they can support employees (male and female) who have lost a baby before birth. I am happy to give my time for free, but am hoping to raise funds to cover any physical resources (printing, etc) and travel expenses involved.

My husband and I lost three babies in 2022 (due to two miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy) and were surprised to find that workplaces are generally not aware of how best to support employees in this situation.

Many, many couples suffer the pain of losing a baby, yet very few businesses have pregnancy loss policies or a sufficient understanding of the ways in which they can help at such a difficult time.

I would be so grateful if you could spare a small amount to help me start breaking the silence in workplaces. With your help, I can use my business and HR qualifications and experience to empower employers with the knowledge they need to support any member of their workforce who may find themselves in this heartbreaking situation.
