Advice Pages
Our advice pages will give an overview of your rights during pregnancy and as a working parent, so you know exactly where you stand and are able to challenge discrimination when you see it.
Pregnant Then Screwed Support Services
The HR Advice Line
All of the volunteers on The HR Advice Line are appropriately qualified to assist with:
• Flexible working requests – how to make them and how to appeal a request that’s been rejected.
• Guidance on your rights if you are being made redundant and any protections you might have.
• Questions about maternity pay/leave.
• Your legal rights if you are pushed out of your job, demoted, bullied, harassed or experience any other form of discrimination as a result of pregnancy, maternity leave or parenthood.

The Legal Advice Referrals
Legal referrals through our Advice Line can provide up to 60 minutes of free legal advice over the phone. When you call our HR Advice Line, our team of volunteer HR advisors will determine whether a referral to legal partners (Primas Law) is required. The team from Primas will then contact you to discuss what has happened and what to do next.
Legal advice is currently only available for England and Wales.
FRU referrals
Pregnant Then Screwed is a referral agent of the FRU (Free Representation Unit) who can provide free legal representation if you have a hearing date at a tribunal in London and the South East.
Please note that the FRU can only support if they are able to find a suitable volunteer for your case. They are currently unable to accept Employment cases lasting longer than three days or Saturday cases.

The Tribunal Mentor Programme
Due to demand, applications for mentor support are currently paused, please check this page for updates on when we are open to new applications.
Our Tribunal Mentor Programme is open to women who have experienced discrimination and are taking their employer to tribunal. Our dedicated team of volunteer mentors are there to support you through the practical and emotional elements of taking an employer to tribunal.
