There have been major changes to maternity rights and rights for those adopting children. Regulations have become more complex - all employers should have a clear written policy to follow.

This policy will help to avoid any possible discrimination claims. Please note that discrimination claims do not have a maximum compensation limit stated by law and so have the potential to be quite large.
