Pregnant Then Screwed Advice Services

Sometimes you just need to hear the info from the horse’s mouth, which is why we have advice services staffed by qualified professionals who can answer your questions or offer an ear when you need a chinwag with someone who cares.

At certain times, like during a cost of living crisis, our advice services can be very busy. If you are unable to reach us during the opening times listed below, please leave a voicemail message or fill out our email advice line form and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.

What advice services do we offer?

To ensure you get the best support for your circumstances we have created the following services

– The HR Advice Line for when you have questions about your employment rights, flexible working requests, parental leave policies or when you have experienced workplace discrimination due to pregnancy, parental leave or simply being a parent.

– The Email Advice Service who offer all of the above support but via email rather than over the phone.

– The Legal Advice Service who offer free legal support to those referred through our HR Advice Line. This is staffed by qualified employment lawyers.

– The Mental Health Support Line for when it’s all getting a bit too much and you need someone to talk to.

– The Benefits Advisory Service which offers appointments to discuss your benefit queries.

The Mental Health Support Line

Discrimination results in 54,000 pregnant women and new mums being pushed out of their jobs each year, with 77% of all working mums experiencing some kind of discrimination in the workplace.

Any woman who has encountered this will attest to the fact that the impact is immense.

That is why we’re over the ruddy moon to announce our new mental health service for pregnant women and mothers who experience discrimination in the workplace, or who are experiencing other mental health issues.

All you need to do is call 0161 2229879 and select the option to speak to The Mental Health Support Line between 9am & 4pm Monday – Friday

The Benefits Advisory Service

Following an increase in requests for help with benefits we have launched a brand new Benefits Advisory Service.

Using the link below you can book a 15 minute appointment with Kirsty to get a better understanding of benefits you may be entitled to and how to access them.

As this is a new service slots may book up fast but we will release new ones every week so keep checking back.

The Legal Advice Service

When you call our HR Advice Line or use our Email Advice Service, our team of HR advisors will determine whether a referral to our team of qualified employment lawyers is required. Our legal team will then contact you to run through what has happened, to explain whether they believe your employer has behaved unlawfully and they can give you advice on what to do next.

*Legal advice is currently only available for Wales and England
