What do I do if I’m facing pregnancy discrimination?

If you feel as though you’re suffering discrimination on the grounds of pregnancy or maternity, it’s important to take the right steps.

In the first instance, you may wish to try resolving the issue informally, especially if you want to keep working with your employer. However, if this doesn’t work, there are other options available which include the following:

  • Make a formal complaint. This is called ‘raising a grievance’.
  • Negotiate with your employer to reach an agreement. This is called ‘settling’.
  • Take legal action at an Employment Tribunal.
