Course Introduction

The EssentialSkillz New and Expectant Mothers Online Training Course aims to help women to work safely, healthily and confidentially during their pregnancy, and on return to work after childbirth.

This New and Expectant Mothers Online Training course takes on average 45 minutes to complete.

Course Content

The course explains the responsibilities of employers and employees, drawing on the requirements of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (MHSW), the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 (the Workplace Regulations), the Work and Families Act 2006, the Equality Act 2010 and the Shared Parental Leave Regulations 2014. This includes entitlement to leave during pregnancy for antenatal appointments, to maternity, paternity, adoptive leave and pay as well as to shared parental leave which was introduced in April 2015. Keeping in touch days are also explained.

The New and Expectant Mothers course outlines typical workplace hazards that new and expectant mothers might face – including prolonged periods of standing, excessive workloads, manual handling, noise, or exposure to biological or chemical agents – and examines different strategies to manage the risks and alleviate discomfort. Although many women remain healthy during pregnancy, some common health problems that can occur during pregnancy are described along with coping strategies.

Like all EssentialSkillz courses, this New and Expectant Mothers eLearning course can be customised to meet your needs, enabling your workforce to understand the specific policies and procedures developed for your organisation. A designated course administrator can edit the text and images within the course, and link to organisation-specific documentation, all at no extra cost.

Compliance

Why is this course important for compliance?

  • New & Expectant Mothers training forms an essential part of compliance training as it ensures that your organisation complies with its legal obligations and requirements.

Add your own questions

Create your own question and answer bank to test your users on the key information that they need to know to be fully compliant. Set core questions to appear in the test section that users are required to pass so that crucial learning points are reinforced.

Randomise test questions

Generate 10 random questions from a bank of 20 to test your user’s retention and understanding of key content.

Set the pass mark

As training administrator, you can configure the passing score that users need to complete the course. Set your own grade boundaries to ensure your training complies with the standards set out by your organisation.

Who should take this course?

The focus of the course is those who are pregnant in the workplace and new mothers returning to work after childbirth, or after a miscarriage. Although the legislation defines a new mother as someone who has given birth within the past six months or is still breastfeeding, the advice can be relevant in many cases beyond that time. The language of the course talks of the mother as “you”, but this course could also be used by anyone who manages women of child-brearing age.
