15. A trainee may be absent from their training for five days at the birth of their child, including a child born in the context of a surrogacy project, the adoption of a child or where there is a termination of pregnancy in or after the twentieth week of pregnancy.
A trainee who gave birth to a child in the context of a surrogacy project is entitled to the leave provided for in the first paragraph.
