Family leave policy updated

December 18, 2018

We have now launched the updated version the family leave policy. SWBH is committed to supporting employees with children to balance their work and family lives and recognises the positive impact this can have on an employees work performance.

The updated policy outlines the various forms of family leave available to Trust employees to support them to take time off work to care for their children. (NB this policy does not cover carer leave, compassionate leave or any other time off for domestic reasons).

Entitlements in regards to the following areas are covered:

• Maternity Leave
• Paternity Leave
• Adoption Leave (Surrogacy Leave)
• Shared Parental Leave
• Ordinary Parental Leave
• Child Care Choices
• Supporting Employees dealing with Premature Births
