Yet, if you asked me that in an interview, […]

    29 August 2022

    The recent report of the House of Commons Women and Equalities Committee on Menopause in the workplace contains some hard hitting and impassioned conclusions on the impact of menopause on women’s working lives.

    Discrimination Against Pregnant Women

    24 August 2022

    Protecting pregnant mothers Can employers act in a way that amounts to discrimination against pregnant women?

    Access to Justice

    15 August 2022

    How could access to justice be improved in the Employment Tribunals? The Employment Tribunals have an enormous backlog which, as a result, has led to limitations for claimants to receive appropriate access to justice.
