What is a Maternity Discrimination?
Discrimination can arise in many circumstances. You might find that you are no longer on track for promotion after announcing your pregnancy or during maternity leave, your role has been eroded and opportunities to progress have disappeared.
It is common that restructures happen during periods of maternity leave and you are left with a much-diminished role, or on your return you are told that you will be facing redundancy.

The claims must be brought either during the protected period (the time you are pregnant or on maternity leave) or within three months less one day.
