Parity is needed for pregnant women & new parents who have been discriminated against on #maternitypetition & left #ExcludedUK thousands of women have been made redundant, denied furlough or forced to take unpaid leave due to lack of childcare! #WeStandAsOne#butnotmaternity
Here is the @MaternityAction statement on the Government’s woeful response to the Petitions Committee report #maternitypetition https://t.co/7wJq0E9F4i
“We have to do our babies meds and oxygen everyday. Keep him upright for so long after feeds (which caused him to need CPR). I really hope Maternity Leave gets extended. We have already missed out on so much time and support! 😭💔. #maternitypetition#maketheuturn#ExcludedUK
I cannot believe the Government’s response to the #maternitypetition. @scullyp you clearly do not care. You couldn’t even extend free dentistry provision which has been unavailable for almost the entirety of my mat. leave. How hard could that be? https://t.co/YITjDiV95d
It will be too late for me as I'm due back to work in a week today but it's time we were listened to as we have been promised time and time again! #maternitypetition#excludedUK
New Mothers, Parents & Babies on Maternity Leave this year 💔. Have had 6 months + of ZERO SUPPORT! No Postpartum Care or HV! No Childcare. Forced into unpaid Leave! Denied Furlough, CJRS, UC & SSP due to gatekeepers & calculations! #maternitypetition#ExcludedUK#Westandasone
Up for a night feed with my baby and reading the response to the #maternitypetition
Heartbreaking that @BorisJohnson has a baby of his own during this time but cannot even understand some of the basic needs of new mums such as extending dentistry entitlement
#ExcludedUK
So disappointed in our government. Despite overwhelming evidence that maternity leave should be extended for lockdown babies they still responded with a no. Who is going to deal with the fall out in years to come? @BorisJohnson@scullyp @GeorgeFreemanMP #maternitypetition
Sadly I can believe it too. Still doesn't make it right though. Imagine being in a job where you ignore all the recommendations that were made and don't even try to justify good reasons why in your reply #maternitypetition#wearenotgoingaway#GapsInSupport#ExcludedUK
