What the petition asks

Increase the length of paid maternity leave for anyone who has had a baby/ having a baby in 2020

Our babies have gotten used to us and only us and now when it's time for us to go back to work we are struggling to leave them with anyone else as they are not used to others due to lockdowns and social distancing. We understand these rules are needed but we want you to acknowledge how it has affected us new mums and our babies. Businesses, workers and self employed are getting help but we are not getting Anything.
