Maternity, paternity, adoption and parental leave
In the 'Resources' section below, you will find the NASUWT guidance on maternity, paternity, adoption and parental leave. This advice booklet contains detailed information on the family friendly rights of teachers working in schools in the public sector across the UK. If you are in any doubt about your rights or require assistance you should contact your NASUWT Local Secretary or Regional / National Centre.
The leaflet incorporates the changes made to statutory paternity leave from April 2011.
Advice on the legal requirements in assessing risks in relation to new and expectant mothers’ job activities is set out in the Health and Safety Executive booklet New and Expectant Mothers at Work: A Guide for Employers (new window).
