Managers! Are you aware of the legal responsibility of employers to allow statutory leave for Neonatal Care? The the Neonatal Care (Leave and Pay) Act 2023, came into effect on 6 April 2025. The right to take neonatal care leave applies from the first day of work. Head to this link to see the latest guidance.
Recent changes to employment law include changes in the areas of Flexible working, Sexual Harassment, and there are more changes to come.
If you haven't yet heard of Churchworkers.net (CWN), it's an additional subscription service provided by UCAN that offers HR & Staff Employment support and resources, specifically tailored for churches. CWN members can now find an even bigger repository of HR policies and templates, including a template Neonatal Care Policy.
We'll soon be offering places to those on our CWN waiting list, before reopening the service to new members. If you'd like to learn more about how CWN could support your church, visit www.churchworkers.net
