Police branches welcome new maternity support

Suffolk and Norfolk UNISON police branches are celebrating a victory, after chief officers agreed to increase the amount of maternity support leave for officers and staff.
The chief constables agreed to increase special leave for new parents by one week – in addition to the previous arrangement for two weeks – and the new policy has been backdated to 31 October 2019.
Suffolk and Norfolk UNISON branch secretaries Mark Trask and Caren Reeves welcomed the news.
In a joint statement, they said: “Once again, Norfolk and Suffolk chief constables stride ahead for staff welfare by agreeing to increase maternity support leave by a third and allowing this to be backdated.”
