The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and Maternity Action have produced a new publication for CSP reps with support from the Trades Union Congress (TUC). The publication is designed to help CSP reps ensure that the health and safety of its members who are pregnant is protected at work, from the moment the rep becomes aware that a member is pregnant to their return to work and beyond.
