BVA launches comprehensive guidance on maternity and paternity for employers and employees

Following changes in legislation the British Veterinary Association (BVA) has launched Guidance on Maternity, Paternity and Adoption Rights which is available for employees, employers and locums, along with supporting FAQs.

The Guidance for BVA members includes timelines for quick reference plus health and safety advice including a template risk assessment form.

Professor Bill Reilly, BVA past president said:

“This Guidance tells everyone in the practice team what they need to know about pregnancy in the workplace… It is specifically tailored to the veterinary environment so vets, vet nurses and practice managers should all find the clear advice useful.”

BVA members can download the guide from BVA Guides.
