hi,
i dont have much info on this other than that you have to had worked for employer for atleast 26 weeks continuously
its really not that much:
The rate of Statutory Paternity Pay and Statutory Shared Parental Pay is the lowest of:
£148.68 per week
90% of your average weekly earnings
It’s paid by your employer who will deduct tax and National Insurance contributions before paying it to you.

Might be worth giving Inland Revenue (HMCRS) a call - they have a pretty good helpline and they will give you money that you are entitled to.
