We're delighted to have become the first local authority in Northern Ireland to introduce a neonatal leave and pay policy for our staff. The new policy means that any employees whose children who require specialist care after birth will now be entitled to additional compassionate leave, without impacting upon their maternity or paternity leave entitlements. Following a motion agreed by our councillors in February 2023, we've worked with TinyLife Charity to develop the policy, which will provide up to 12 weeks additional leave for staff with a newborn child who has spent time in a neonatal care unit following birth. The changes mean that families whose children are born premature or sick can still spend the same amount of time at home with their newborn child, as families whose children are born full term.

This time last year, our city was gearing up to host One Young World, which brought over 2,000 young leaders together from across the globe. From 18-21 September, the conference will be in Montreal, Canada - and we're pleased to be supporting 10 young people from Belfast to travel to #OYW24 to further their own leadership journeys. They'll be focusing on issues including: • Disability activism and campaigning for change, • Mental health advocacy, policy and research, • Promotion of greater participation of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), • A programme for those who have had a negative experience with the justice system and legal sector following a traumatic incident; • Empowering women and girls with life skills to increase their confidence and self-esteem. The group got together with Lord Mayor of Belfast, Councillor Micky Murray, in City Hall yesterday evening to chat more about what's in store - it was great to catch up with them all and wish them well for the conference! https://lnkd.in/epqekQYc #OneYoungWorld #FutureLeaders #Leadership #YoungPeople
