Family friendly umbrella policy

This umbrella policy from RadHR (attributed to Platform) covers the full suite of family-friendly leave provisions — maternity, paternity, adoption, shared parental, parental, dependants' emergency leave, and flexible working — setting out both the statutory framework and where the organisation goes further. It explicitly moves away from gendered statutory language to be more trans and gender-inclusive, acknowledging the effort is imperfect but ongoing. Key enhancements include paid ante-natal appointments for all parents, extended paid leave beyond statutory minimums (subject to one year's service), and a staged repayment schedule if an employee does not return from leave. Separate detailed policies exist for each leave type; this document provides the overarching general principles, return-to-work procedures, and a summary comparison table of statutory versus organisational provision.
