Talking About Baby Loss: A Film to Support Awareness and Compassion in the Workplace

Published on 9 October 2025

We’re proud to share Talking About Baby Loss, a powerful and deeply moving short film created by Jodie Holland, in collaboration with organisations from our Together in Equity specialist training network.

This film explores the emotional and real-life impact of pregnancy and baby loss. Through personal stories from bereaved parents and insights from healthcare professionals, it sheds light on the challenges families face during these heart-breaking journeys.

The film aims to:

  • Raise awareness of baby loss and its impact
  • Provide comfort and solidarity to those affected
  • Educate viewers on the sensitivity and complexity of the subject
  • Serve as a vital resource for employers and teams

Baby loss is a deeply personal experience that often goes unseen in the workplace. By fostering empathy and understanding, this film encourages open conversations, reduces stigma, and advocates for better support services and inclusive environments, helping individuals and families feel seen, supported, and less alone.

We invite you to watch and share the film with your teams. Whether you’re in HR, management, or frontline services, this is a valuable resource for building compassionate and supportive workplaces.

💛 A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to the making of this film, especially:

  • Little Wings of Hope
  • Black Baby Loss Awareness Week
  • Kelly Harris
  • Cairistine Foster-Cannan
