Women employed by Glasgow City Council who experience a miscarriage could benefit from paid leave if councillors agree to extend existing bereavement provision this week.
The local authority is about the become the third council in the country to sign onto the Miscarriage Association’s Workplace pregnancy loss pledge by allowing employees who experience a miscarriage before 24 weeks time off.
According to a report being brought before the well-being and empowerment committee this Thursday, miscarriage is the most common type of pregnancy loss and impacts one in four known pregnancies.
