What's on

As Baby Loss Awareness Week commences on the 9^th of October, we want to address this heartbreaking topic, which can often be overlooked.

Briefed, who specialise in bar-specific eLearning courses, have developed Workplace Pregnancy Loss training to help organisations and their employees make a difference, by equipping them with the tools needed to address such a challenging issue.

They’re  aiming to make a real difference and have set a goal of enrolling 100 Businesses, Chambers and Law Firms to take part in their ‘Time for Action’ initiative where they will provide FREE access to this training during Baby Loss Awareness Week.

To develop their training, they’ve joined up with Keeley Lengthorn, a Partner in the Family team at RWK Goodman, who has suffered the heartbreak of losing three children in the space of three years. She’s now trying to turn that tragedy into a positive by fighting to enact George’s Law - a bill that would grant statutory leave to parents who experience the loss of a child under 24 weeks.  

In absence of protection at statutory level, this training is intended provide practical guidance on how to support a colleague who has suffered pregnancy loss.

Behind the Gown was founded in 2017 at the height of the global #MeToo movement.

Where imbalances of power exist, bullying and harassment can thrive. All too often fear inhibits these behaviours being challenged.

We shine a light on conduct which threatens equality. Behind the Gown seeks to reveal and uncover — a means of holding power to account.
