<p><strong></strong></p><p>Officials from this Department have participated in round
table meetings with stakeholders which have been organised by the Equalities and Human
Rights Commission (EHRC), following publication of interim findings of research into
pregnancy and maternity related discrimination. The independent research, the largest
of its kind to be undertaken in Great Britain, was jointly funded by Department for
Business, Innovation and Skills and the EHRC. The Interim findings were published
in July 2015 and can be found at: <a href="http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/publication/pregnancy-and-maternity-related-discrimination-and-disadvantage-first-findings-surveys-employers-and-0"

. The final report is due to be published later this year.</p><br /><p>These meetings
and the research findings will inform the EHRC’s recommendations to Government. The
EHRC recommendations will in turn inform the Government response.</p><br /><p><strong></strong></p>
