Under the Parent's Leave and Benefit Act 2019, as amended by Regulation, a relevant parent of a child born within the last two years (i.e. since March 2021) is currently entitled to seven weeks of Parent’s Leave before the second birthday of the child. This also applies to parents of adopted children in the first two years of the placement of the child. It is the Government's intention in this legislation that this will ultimately rise to a maximum of nine weeks Parent's Leave in the coming years, with increases in duration and any Parent's Benefit increases being made in the relevant Budget.
