Increase Statutory Paternity Leave to 3 months

Petition Details

I'd like the Government to increase Statutory Paternity Leave to 3 months, to give dads better opportunities to spend time with their new children.

Additional Information

I think it is unfair that mothers are entitled to up to a year leave, but fathers are only entitled to two weeks. Fathers should be given more time to spend time with and bond with their children.
