Neonatal leave in the UK is a new statutory right introduced under the Neonatal Care (Leave and Pay) Act 2023. It came into force on 6 April 2025.

This bonus podcast episode is a short extract from a Q&A session for members of the HR Inner Circle, a few days before the new right came into force, when I explain the new law.
