New and expecting parents in the UK will now get more protection against being made redundant while on maternity leave 🥳\\
There are few things as destabilising as finding out you’ve been made redundant while on maternity leave, or shortly after returning to work.
Currently, in the UK, redundancy while on maternity is legal so long as the person’s pregnancy hasn’t factored into the decision-making. In a Protection from Redundancy Bill, pregnant people and new parents will get more protection against being made redundant.The new law is expected to come into place later this year.
Research from the Equality and Human Rights Commission found that three in four working mums believe they have experienced pregnancy and maternity discrimination.While it’s illegal to discriminate, many mums can find themselves hard-pressed to prove that has taken place in a legal system that doesn’t offer much in the way of protection as it stands.
Labour MP Dan Jarvis is behind the new bill that now has the backing of MPs and is due to be debated in the House of Lords.
