This is a way for parents to share statutory leave and statutory pay after the birth or adoption of a child. SPL is applicable for a baby born on or after 5th April 2015 or for a child adopted on or after this date. The intention is that SPL will give families more choice over how they look after their children for the first 12 months. Shared Parental Leave also applies to parents in a surrogacy arrangement and to same sex partnerships.
