Dismissed while pregnant, Monica was left with a newborn and no income before an out-of-court settlement cleared her debts.
This story
Monica worked her way up to Assistant Manager at a nursery, but was dismissed after becoming pregnant when new owners took over. At 22, she was left as a single parent with a newborn baby, no maternity pay, and no job. Citizens Advice took on her case for pregnancy discrimination and unfair dismissal, securing a £16,000 settlement that let her clear the debts she had incurred to support her baby.
