Yes, but if you decided that, because of the fact that she was a parent that you would not give her the job, then that would be discrimination and would be against the law. The equality act is in place to stop employers from discriminating against employees. Furthermore the business owners...
Wow I am shocked at how personal things are getting towards me. I have been a member of this forum for years I have not infiltrated anywhere!! Sorry if the truth upsets you. I am merely pointing out to you that if you decide to not give someone a job because they are a parent then it is...
Some of the ladies in this thread have admitted that they wont hire a mother! That, no matter which way you look at is discrimination! Heaven help any single mothers.

Wow! That is a little...
But it isn't! You have to, as an employer, adhere to the equality act. There is a reason this act exists, and that is to ensure all people are treated equally. I am shocked that those of you who have openly admitted, on a public forum, that you do discriminate.
Of course I wouldn't give all ten the job!! What should happen is that the job is given to the candidate with the best skills, qualifications and experience. If you take the factors of whether the candidate has children, is planning on having children or is pregnant into acccount when deciding...
Hi hair geeks. Please can someone advise me on where I can get my unruly red hair (semi) permanently straightened from a reputable hair salon in the midlands. I live near Rugby so within about 50 mile radius is fine. Many thanks.
