Explanatory note

These Regulations make amendments to secondary legislation in consequence of Regulations made under the Employment Rights Act 1996 and Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992, which make provision for entitlements to bereavement leave and pay for parents following the death of a child.

These Regulations are part of a package of legislative measures and the relevant impact assessment is the Parental Bereavement (Leave and Pay) Bill impact assessment which was published on 14 May 2018. A copy of that impact assessment can be obtained from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Labour Market Directorate, 1 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0ET.
