Why this petition matters

Started by Bethany Power

I’m wanting to raise a concern to the UK Government that many new Mothers are feeling at the moment whilst us Mothers are on Maternity leave with very young babies. 

Can the government extend our paid maternity leave to keep our vulnerable babies safer for longer at home whilst in this Covid-19 crises? Giving us further protection of paid leave without being forced back to work, worrying about the health, safety and childcare for our babies.
