Abstract
Navigating Maternity and Parenthood in Policing: Challenges and Support examined the unique challenges faced by police officers and staff during fertility treatment, pregnancy, maternity leave, and early parenthood. The talk explored practical strategies to enhance workplace support, including tailored policies for women undergoing fertility treatment, maintaining meaningful contact and addressing perinatal mental health during maternity leave, and ensuring a smooth transition back to work through childcare accommodations and support for nursing mothers. Additionally, it focused on promoting flexible working solutions and reducing the stigma associated with flexible hours to foster an inclusive and supportive work environment for parents.
