I am currently expecting child number 2, due in Sept. I'm a civil servant. Due to go on maternity leave in Sept. Am starting to think i would like to take a career break. Find it hard enough working with a three year old nevermind with a new baby as well. Let alone paying childcare for two (but thats another whole topic) Anyway would really like to take maternity leave first and obviously receive the maternity pay and then go immediately into career break. Does anyone know if this is allowed or know anything that might help me with this. I've read both civil service circulars governing career breaks and maternity leave and didn't find anything. Don't want to ask HR as I don't want to alert them yet to what I'd like to do. Any advice very welcome. thanks. notaclue.
