Baby Loss Awareness Week

Lodged by Fulton MacGregor (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 34 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises Baby Loss Awareness Week, which takes place in the week of 9 to 15 October 2021; understands that the loss of a baby at any stage is an unimaginable tragedy; notes that the week will focus on a general theme of wellbeing, which will explore what this means to those who have experienced pregnancy loss; acknowledges the great work done by Coatbridge charity Baby Loss Retreat, which works tirelessly, supporting parents and families who have been affected by miscarriage, stillbirth and neonatal death; praises the charity for winning a Points of Light award in August 2020, and developing counselling and trauma therapy services for bereaved families; understands that the charity was able to adapt its services successfully during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and hopes that Baby Loss Retreat continues to get national recognition for the incredibly important work that it does.
