Purpose of the consultation
The terms of reference for the inquiry were to consider:
- How the Welsh Government is taking action on the findings of the Equality and Human Rights Commission review into pregnancy and maternity discrimination;
- How the Welsh Government is working
towards its strategic equality objective
of “identifying and reducing the causes of employment, skills and pay
inequalities related to gender”, particularly in relation to pregnancy and
maternity;
- The
extent to which the Welsh Government’s Economic Action Plan and
employability programmes address issues faced by mothers;
- Whether
the new childcare offer is matched with targeted support for mothers to
enter or return to work, and
- The extent of pregnancy and maternity discrimination in Welsh public sector (and variances between difference groups of women), and examples of good practice.
