Channel 4 | Firm hopes to 'end stigma' with Pregnancy Loss Policy

Channel 4 is going one step further in order to demonstrate its support for staff as it has announced the launch of its new dedicated Pregnancy Loss Policy.

The policy has been designed to support employees through pregnancy loss – which includes, but is not limited to, miscarriage, stillbirth and abortion.

Believed to be one of the world’s first, Channel 4 hopes to “end the stigma around women’s health issues by helping to normalise taboo subjects and make them more visible”.

It will support both men and women who have been affected, whether it happens directly to them, their partner or their baby’s surrogate mother, regardless of the nature of their loss and whatever their length of service. It will recognise pregnancy loss as an experience that is not isolated to women or heterosexual couples.
