Can anyone recommend an employment lawyer please? I'm returning after mat leave and I'm being offered variation of contract terms, being messed around with time scales and I've had all of my flexible working request rejected on every ground...I'm now off on sick leave worrying about how I'm going to get it sorted.


Many thanks in advance

You could also look at Maternity Action website and advice line:

The Equality & Human Rights Commission also has advice on its website:

Hi

Really sorry to hear of your troubles.


I work in HR. Have you got an HR department at your work and could you talk to them first for advice and support?


Also, most companies will have an internal grievance process, so you can raise a formal grievance if you want to consider this.


Normally, when I see an employment lawyer letter, things have gone so far that relations can be past the point of any return so I would think about this.


Hope it all gets sorted for you one way or other.

They do need to consider your flexible working request properly, they can't just say no even if they give the valid reasons they really need to be able to solidly back that up. Have a look at your house insurance policy (buildings &/or contents) some include legal advice for employment situations. Good luck, a very stressful time for you.

    • Disagree. Where are the police when you need them? People want a police presence, they want to feel reassured by seeing them do what the word suggests, policing, so go catch some bad guys, arrest, charge and get the CPS to prosecute with the evidence to enable this to happen. Stabbing and shootings are so common place they no longer even get reported in the public domain. How many crimes don't get solved? Rather case closed and forgotten. The number of low to high level crimes which remain unsolved is staggering.  The criminal fraternity know this, they know they won't get caught so they just carry on.  Biggest crimes which affect most people, probably are phone and car theft, both are prolific and what do the police do, diddly squat. zilch, nothing, provide a crime reference number and the case is closed. Not good enough, not by a country mile.   Met Engage? I don't think so.

Recent data suggests a drop in violent crime. Gang violence will make a significant contribution to the numbers. You are unlikely to be attacked by a stranger   
    • Unfortunately there are plenty of shops which don't care and will sell vapes, alcohol and weed to minors, I'm sure they won't care about selling them fireworks. Or the kids nick them.
