Dr. Katie Lidster, 38, was demoted from her position at the Government-backed UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) while caring for her second child, Daisy, who had been born two months premature.
She took her employer of seven years to court and won while being represented by her husband, a fellow scientist because they couldn’t afford a barrister.
Dr. Lidster was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder but had been seeing a counsellor and, seven months after the birth felt ready to return to work. ‘They had added one word to the job description and one responsibility, which I had been doing anyway,’ Dr. Lidster, who lives in Devon but used to commute to London, told The Mirror.
