That’s a good suggestion thanks il look in the policy.
Should say in your policy but most places request it 15 weeks before your due date.
Our policy is very vague. We have had staff that have found out very late but usually they expect it in by the time you get your matB1 from the midwife. I think I got mine at my 16 week appointment and my manager did the form that same day when I gave her the matB1 because a copy had to go with it
See I remember with my daughter it having to be in quite soon but I can’t get my matb1 form until 24 weeks as thats what my midwifes have said. Hopefully that’s not too late. Can’t really do anything else x
@Beth they can issue it after 20 weeks. My midwife said she wouldn’t issue my matb1 till my 28 week appt. I phoned her and said I wanted it now to complete paperwork at work - I wasn’t taking no for an answer. She issued it me that week. I phoned the GP and left a message with them until it was confirmed it was at reception waiting for me to collect 😆
Should be able to fine that in your maternity or family leave policy. Might vary by trust
