Wake Up to Money: After Miscarriage

After Miscarriage

BBC Radio 5 Live - Wake Up to Money, After Miscarriage

Why is there so much variation in the support firms offer their staff after a miscarriage?

A miscarriage is devastating. Yet BBC research finds many firms don't have policies in place to support staff afterwards. And how VR is increasingly being used in healthcare.

Rahul Tandon talks to Monzo Bank about its policy to give parents two weeks of paid leave following a miscarriage, after BBC research finds wide variation in the support companies offer their staff in the aftermath of a miscarriage. 

So what kind of help do parents need to recover? And is it just as important to offer that support to dads as well as mums?

VR is increasingly being used as a tool in healthcare. Rahul talks to one firm about how it's developed tech to enable VR to be used in therapy.
