Is this insensitive of work?

I logged onto my laptop this morning to find one of those compulsory training videos. They’re normally anti-bribery training or something mundane, but today it’s baby loss awareness.

I thoroughly welcome this training, but it felt jarring to receive it via an automated training email that just had it listed as a ‘mandatory training module’.

AIBU to raise this at work? It’s a very sensitive topic and I think it could have been handled better by sending the training with a proper introduction email plus links to support if needed. Or am I overreacting as the actual training was quite good?

I can understand them wanting to make the training mandatory to avoid any dinosaurs in management not bothering on grounds that they don't need this sort of woke nonsense and will be fine using common sense, etc. However, the training should have been sensitively trailed in advance, with opportunities for staff affected by the issues involved to receive support and, possibly, exemptions from undertaking the training. Definitely worth raising this so it's done better next time.
