sorry, feeling a bit excitable today.

i wouldn't bother telling them unless you need extra breaks or change time of breaks

Eh?

Why do you need to write a letter? Would you write telling your employer you are going to be changing your sanitary pads/tampons/mooncup?

wheresthehamster · 28/07/2008 18:08

Unless you are a Receptionist and intend to do it at your desk then why should you have to tell them?

moondog · 28/07/2008 18:09

You don't need to ask permission. Just tell him/her you need a quiet place 1/2 times a day.

HSE info
"What facilities do employers have to provide?
The Workplace Regulations and Approved Code of Practice require employers to provide suitable facilities for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers to rest. Where necessary these should include somewhere for the woman to lie down.

HSE recommends that it is good practice, for employers, to provide a private, healthy and safe environment for nursing mothers to express and store milk (but this is not a legal requirement). It is not suitable to use toilets for this purpose."

I have been told they need to know in writing as they have to provide a room for me and do a risk assement. Not sure why as they didn't bother when I was pregnant.

-have a click on the link I did below - loads of info there. I've never heard about the need to inform in writing.

elmoandella · 28/07/2008 18:19

(along those lines, but with much more professional wording.

keep it short and sweet)

Maybe its just their own policy? They did have a legal requirement to do a pregnancy risk assessment though!
