Maternity Action and NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Women’s Health and Maternity Programme have launched a dedicated Maternity Rights Advice Service for women and families across the Cheshire and Merseyside region.
The service provides free and confidential advice on rights at work and maternity pay and benefits for pregnant women and new parents who are living, working or booked for maternity care in the Cheshire and Merseyside region.

- Do you think that you are being discriminated against at work because of your pregnancy or because you have been on maternity leave?
