This is so important and I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been involved in this. Validation and acknowledgment are just as important as acceptance. It is a memory we live with but have no acknowledgment for. Now people can and it will help with recovery.
9 years ago, I had a dream that every person who had lost a baby before 24 weeks gestation would be able to get an official government-issued certificate to formally acknowledge their loss, and today, those certificates are happening. Whatever the gestation, whether a parent has tragically lost their baby at one day into pregnancy or 23 weeks and six days, they can apply. Whether the loss happens at any point in the future or any point in the past, you can apply. No one will miss out; your loss, your pain, your grief are finally being recognised.
To avoid the application site from crashing, we are asking people to form an orderly queue, and if the English are good at anything, itโs queuing. So to start with, if those who have had a loss since September 2018 can apply first, and the government will then open it up to everyone else as soon as possible, this does mean some of us (including me) need to be patient a little longer.
To answer a few questions:
You donโt need medical proof of a loss. This is for everyone, whatever type of loss they may have experienced, whether it be a loss from miscarriage, ectopic, molar, TFMR or for another reason. This certificate is for anyone who has lost a baby before 24 weeks gestation, whether the loss was today or 90 years ago. Your loss needs to have taken place in England, and you need to currently live in England to apply.
We want to thank Dame Floella Benjamin @FloellaBenjamin for believing in us and our mission; your joining with us as a charity helped make this a reality. We would also like to thank all our ambassadors for joining their voices with ours to ensure we were heard. @SayingGoodbyeUK
6 years ago, Sam and I were asked to co-chair and author one of the world's first baby loss reviews for under 24 weeks gestation. We were tasked with looking into all clinical care and bereavement support, and part of that was also to bring in the new certification process. Last summer, we laid that report in Parliament, and the government accepted all 73 of its national recommendations. Today is a landmark day because one of those 73 is coming to pass - certificates are now here!
We hope you are as excited as us; please help us spread the word.

Thank you to #wavesofpositivity for inviting me to *Muslim Leadership Programme*
It was both an honour and a privilege to be in a room full of so many amazing people of different walks and experiences of life. I was amazed at the conscientiousness of all the young professionals
Tell a British person that it was cold when you woke up, and they will tell you it was even colder when they were up even earlier than you.
โIt was chilly waiting for my train at 6amโ
โIt was even colder on my run at 5amโ
โWell it was absolutely freezing when I was walking the dogs around 4.30amโ
โOkay but it was baltic when I was feeding the chickens at 3.45amโ
โYou should have felt it at 2.50am when I was up sweeping the drivewayโ
Thank you @neetusquire1 from @LeicsCares for the kind donation of gifts ๐ for children this #Christmas
We appreciate the support you give Outspoken with our projects throughout the year.
The ability to refer into @LCFC_Community for sports is essential for our local interventions.
Today we all learnt of the wide offer and how we can best support our young people to access.
