We have 'capital funding' on offer from our council, to be able to apply you need to be regisgtered for a year and have children on roll, it is available until March 2011.
I will be registered for a year on April 22nd but am starting maternity leave (for 9 months) as from 19th April. I have phoned the council with regard to this and been informed I cannot apply as I will not meet the criteria.
Now, to me I am being discriminated for being pregnant and taking maternity leave as that is the only reason I will not be meeting the criteria. Surely in this day and age this is wrong...but what can I do about it??
Does anyone agree it's not right or fair? Do you think it's worth me asking ncma about it?
