CA Eastbourne is continuing to receive enquiries from women who have experienced discrimination at work when they tell their employer they are pregnant. In some cases this results in dismissal. The law is very clear about this, it is illegal to discriminate against women in this way and yet we continue to see examples. We produced a report on this in 2017.
One point is clear is that women need to know their rights at work and employers need to better understand their responsibilities. To help raise awareness of the subject we are working in partnership with Wayfinder Woman Trust to help spread the message across the town about where women can find information about their rights and how to ensure they receive them.
