Consultation description
A Baby Loss Certificate Scheme is being developed as a way for parents who have experienced the loss of a child before the end of 24 weeks of pregnancy to obtain formal recognition of their loss. The Department is asking for input to help to shape how the Scheme will look and operate.
If you or someone close to you have been affected by loss of a child in pregnancy and you would like information, support or counselling, you can find links to relevant organisations at:
