Women in the UK: share your experiences of expressing breast milk in the workplace

We’d like to hear from women about how easy – or difficult – it has been recently to express milk at work. How supportive has your employer been?

We’d like to find out more about women’s experiences of expressing breast milk in the workplace or place of study.

A healthcare worker has won a claim of harassment against an NHS health board after she was not provided with a suitable private space to express breast milk.

Robyn Gibbins told an employment tribunal she felt let down by the trust in Cardiff after she was not given a room that she could lock when she came back to work from maternity leave.

A trust spokesperson said the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board was committed to ensuring all colleagues are treated respectfully, with dignity and without discrimination or prejudice.

How easy or difficult have you found it to find a suitable place to express breast milk at work? How supportive have you found your employer?
