Government will also update and consolidate the pregnancy and maternity discrimination pages on GOV.UK by summer 2018. To inform pregnant women of their rights at an early stage, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is working with the Department for Work and Pensions so that the MAT B1 form (the maternity certificate which enables a pregnant woman to claim Statutory Maternity Pay from her employer) signposts advice and guidance on pregnancy and maternity discrimination. BEIS and the Department for Health and Social Care are also working to signpost advice and guidance through the Start 4 Life campaign.</p> answering member constituency Burton answering member printed Andrew Griffiths question first answered 20/02/2018 12:10:47 answering member 3936 label Biography information for Andrew Griffiths

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/02/2018 answer text <p>As set out in our Industrial Strategy, which was published on 27 November last year, workers in Britain should expect to be treated well. We are starting a dialogue with experts to develop a common set of principles and measures against which to assess job quality and success, beginning with the aspects that we believe are foundational: overall worker satisfaction; good pay; participation and progression; wellbeing; safety and security; and voice and autonomy. Following these discussions we will publish a final list of measures by Autumn 2018.</p> answering member constituency Burton answering member printed Andrew Griffiths question first answered 21/02/2018 12:07:27 answering member 3936 label Biography information for Andrew Griffiths
