At DMU we enhance to match enhanced maternity and adoption pay provisions. We took equality issues and potential legal challenges into account (particularly as we have always matched adoption benefits to maternity) but the main driver was about sending a positive message to support the social policy objectives of the regs, and to support our Stonewall and Athena Swan objectives.

Is your institution adopting a statutory approach to parental leave for fathers/partners or are you matching the enhanced maternity pay provisions? 2. When developing your policy did your institution take into account equality issues?
