About this listen

This week our host Theo is joined by Shah Qureshi, Head of Employment at Irwin Mitchell's London office, and Geeta Nayar, an affected mother and Senior Associate Solicitor, to talk about going back to work after birth trauma. They share information to help mothers who are looking at returning to the workplace, whilst recovering from mental or physical issues after childbirth, and provide some practical advice to help affected families.

Topics that we discuss on the show include: the impact of birth injuries on careers; how to navigate a return to work; workplace rights; legal protections for mothers with physical or psychological challenges; examples of helpful adjustments employers can make; how to break through fear and shame in the workplace; maternity leave; flexible working or change of duties; signposting to helpful services to aid recovery; the role of mentors; when to seek legal advice and what this entails; and advice on maternity disability discrimination claims.

This podcast is sponsored by the law firm Irwin Mitchell.
