The final reports into Pregnancy and Maternity-related Discrimination and Disadvantage in the Workplace were published on 22 March 2016, together with the Government response to recommendations made by the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

We had intended to publish the final reports in December 2015, but this did not prove possible as the extensive research reports took longer than expected to finalise.
