The purpose of our survey and how we use your data
Maternity Action is asking women about their financial situation during maternity leave, adoption leave, shared parental leave, or any other type of leave from work following the birth or adoption of their child. We want to hear from you if you were on leave at any time in the 18 months between December 2024 and the present day.
This survey is part of an ongoing campaign to find out more about how the soaring cost of living is affecting women on maternity leave and their families. It will help provide the crucial evidence we need to continue campaigning for better maternity pay and benefits. Your answers are anonymous and will be used for research and campaigning purposes.
By completing this survey you consent to us using this information as described above. You can choose which questions you answer and do not have to answer every question.
If you would like to hear from us about opportunities to get more involved in our Cost of Living work, you can add your contact details at the end of the survey. This is optional.
This survey takes around 6 minutes and will close on the 4 of August, 2026.
