Maternity Action

Maternity Action is the UK’s leading charity committed to ending inequality and improving the health and well-being of pregnant women, partners and young children – from conception through to the child’s early years.

At Maternity Action, we offer information to parents about their rights and advise employers about managing pregnant women and new parents.

We offer free advice for mums and dads worried about their rights to work, benefits, tax credits and healthcare.

We provide expert advice and information for employers managing pregnant women and new parents at work. Maternity Action has developed resources to help employers successfully manage and support women who wish to continue breastfeeding at work.

We offer training to advisors, community workers, midwives and other health professionals. This covers rights at work and benefits. We also provide specialist training for midwives on improving care for refugee and asylum seeking women and supporting vulnerable migrants.
