Please advise - can they get rid of me?

[Gateau]

I went back to work a a year's mat leave in March - three days a week and on a 3-month trial basis.
After the 3 months was up, I asked my mgr if I was coming into work the next week (in other words, was I being kept on?). She said yes, I would be copming in the following week and that she would wait to speak to a director to get my contract formally drawn up.
Since then, we have been informed the project I have been helping a colleague to work on is to finish in March. No mention has been made of my contract, nor will she tell me (I have asked twice) how many annual leave days I am entitled to.
What I am worried about is, can they get rid of me? Or what, if any, are my rights?
It would really madden me if they could/did bin me, because I have been the longest standing member of the team. They took on the latest member on a full-time basis just a month ago to work on her own two projects and they also have freelancers working for the team.
Please advise, if possible!

Gateau, are you employed as a permanent member of staff or a contractor? Am assuming permanent here and it's absolutely your right to have a contract of employment so you know what your rights are...is hard to say without seeing this.
It is possible for them to get rid of you but the company would have to follow the right process before this can happen. They'll have to have proper discussions with you, a clear reason for doing it, a notice period for redundancy etc. first thing you need to do is get hold of your contract of employment.... keep fighting to get it

Thanks emily,
will start fighting!
