From 2026, staff in the Walloon civil service, as well as their partner, will be entitled to two days of special leave in the event of a pregnancy loss reported to the employer. This measure provides concrete recognition of an often painful and difficult ordeal and gives affected staff time to cope with it. Foster parents involved in a long-term foster placement will also benefit from the same parental and special leave rights as other parents.
