Pregnancy and Maternity Discrimination


Understanding your legal responsibilities and how to avoid costly mistakes.

Pregnancy and maternity discrimination remains one of the most common - and financially damaging - areas of risk in UK employment law. From mismanaged redundancy processes and poor communication to the unintended consequences of return-to-work arrangements, even well-meaning employers can fall short.

Claims of pregnancy and maternity discrimination can result in reputational harm, management disruption and significant compensation awards - especially where legal duties or internal procedures are not met.

In this 60-minute webinar, employment law solicitors at Thomas Mansfield Solicitors guide employers, HR professionals and managers through the legal framework and practical steps to reduce risk and better support working parents.
