What to expect when returning from maternity leave Returning from maternity leave can be scary.

Mothers have countless obstacles to overcome.

You’re leaving your baby for the first time. You haven’t worked for months, a year or even longer.

So there are lots of questions you may have.

What if my childcare falls though? Will people still remember me? Can I still do my job? Will I end up on the ‘mummy track’? Should I still breastfeed?

Is there somewhere to express? Should I go part time? Do I even have a job j anymore? y As a recent returner from maternity leave, and an employment lawyer, here’s my advice and a few tips.

First - check you are going back to YOUR job Your employer can’t simply give your job away because you had a baby. If you are returning af ter six months’ ordinary maternity leave, you are entitled to return to the same job you were doing before you had your baby if the job still exists.

If you take more than six months’ maternity leave, you have the right to return to your job unless it isn’t reasonably practicable. If it isn’t, you are entitled to be offe fered an available suitable alternative job.

Second - consider flexible working Many parents need flexibility to successfully manage a career and the care of a baby. Flexibility makes the world of difference. This could include a reduced working week, adjusted hours, compressed hours or home working. If you have at least 26 weeks’ continuous service (most maternity returners will) you have the right to make a request for flexible working. If it’s unreasonably refused, you may have a legal claim against your employer.

Third - seek support fo for breastfeeding Many returning mothers feel they have no choice but to stop breastfeeding. You have a choice. Start a conversation with your employer, well before you return, about your plans. Good employers will provide suppor t for breastfeeding mothers, Authorised and Regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

Paula Chan, Acting Head of Practice – Employment Law, Slater and Gordon

like a private lockable room to ex xpress, a secure fridge to store milk and flexibility y with breaks.

Fourth - don’t just acceptt redundancy You have special legal protection n whilst on maternity leave. If you are put at risk of redundancy and there is a suitable alternative job it should be offe fered to you. If it’s not, object.

Fift fth - use your y KIT days y Conside er using your ‘keeping in touch’ days.

This can n help you transition back into the workpla ace. You can work up to 10 0 days during your maternity leave without your leav ve being brought to an end. If you are taking shared d parental leave, you can take an additional 20 sha ared parental leave keeping in touch days, known as “SPLIT” “ days if your em mployer agrees to this.

Finally y - know your rightss I have lo ost count of the number off women I’ve spoken tto who are suddenly repla aced, overlooked or made e redundant having taken maternity leave.

If you fin nd yourself unsupported, side-lined, redunda ant or discriminated again nst in any other way then make sure you know yo our rights. If it’s because e of your maternity leave o or childcare commitments, it’s against the law w. Dismissal and discrimination claims have sh hort time limits of 3 mon nths less one day, so take prompt specialist legal advice.

If you’d like specialist advice from m an employment lawyer please p contact Slater and Gordon on 0808 175 7832 and we’ll be happy to help.

ALTERNATIVES TO PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS FOR HIGH EARNERS

I

f you top up your pension pot then some of the money you save may be eligible for tax relief, provided you’re within the pension contribution annual allowance. However, the tax relief rules are complex! Matt Merchant, an independent financial adviser at Scrutton Bland explains what this means for high earners.

Since the beginning of the 2016/17 tax year, individuals earning over £150,000 a year may have had their annual allowance for pension contributions reduced from £40,000 to as low as £10,000 per annum. As we enter the 2019/20 tax year we are now in a position where someone’s maximum pension contribution, if they have not contributed over the past three tax years, could be as low as £40,000 to cover four tax years’ worth of allowances rather than £40,000 each year.

If you (or your employer) makes pension contributions in excess of your annual allowance and available carry forward, you will face an annual allowance charge on the excess. is charge is applied in a similar way to Income Tax, so for high earners the excess pension contribution will likely suffer a tax charge of 45%.

Combine these restrictions on pension contributions with the Lifetime Allowance for pensions savings (£1,055,000 in 2019/20) and there comes a point where making pension contributions becomes less suitable for high earners. Not only could the contributions face an annual allowance charge on the way in, effectively removing the tax relief benefit, but when it comes to using your pension for its main purpose: retirement funding, there will be a Lifetime Allowance Charge if your 1 2 APRIL 2019

total pension savings exceed the Lifetime Allowance as well.

So what else could high earning individuals do in place of pension contributions?

One of the main reasons to review your pension contributions is the Income Tax relief available and the reduction this can have on your Income Tax liabilities. ere are specialist investments such as Enterprise Investment Schemes (EIS) and Venture Capital Trusts (VCT) that can be used to claim Income Tax relief of up to 30% of the amounts invested. Both of these investment structures offer other tax benefits in addition to Income Tax relief but they are considered high risk investments and you should always seek independent financial advice before investing in these schemes.

Other alternatives to pension contributions can include more established investments such as Stocks and Shares ISAs, General Investment Accounts and Investment Bonds. ese savings plans can be set-up in line with your individual attitude to risk and long-term objectives, but it is important that they are reviewed on an ongoing basis with your financial adviser to ensure they remain suitable.

All of these options have their benefits, and come with their own tax advantages, so it is likely that no one solution will be appropriate on its own and a combination of investments may well be more beneficial. If you are trying to decide whether pension contributions remain the most suitable option for you, or if you want to discuss alternatives in more detail, please contact a member of our Financial Planning Department on 0330 058 6559 or email matt.merchant@scruttonbland.co.uk n

OAK-TREE SCHOOLS DEFY CUTS TO SCHOOL RESOURCES

A

few weeks ago an article for BBC Education focused on the recent funding shortfall at state schools. It has been reported that around 7,000 head teachers in England have written to 3.5 million parents saying that schools are facing a "funding crisis". e Head of one state school in South London told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme that she had been forced to make a "phenomenal amount of cuts" in every area of her school. "I've reduced the number of teaching groups, I've reduced the number of options that students have, I've increased class sizes." she said, adding that she had just £10 per pupil per year to fund basic needs such as books, and that parents were being asked to pay for more and more.

It is partly due to the funding shortfall faced in the state system that more parents are now are choosing a private education for their children.

With a number of local prep and all-through schools in our area, there are many reasons why parents try to give their children the experience of a private school and why it can be worth the financial investment. e Oak-Tree Group consists of Braeside School in Buckhurst Hill, Coopersale Hall in Epping, Normanhurst in North Chingford and Oaklands in Loughton. Matthew Hagger, Group Managing Principal tells us, “With around 1000 pupils across the Group, each Oak-Tree School takes between 200 and 300 pupils to provide smaller environments in which the children can flourish. e Group’s strength in numbers ensures that resources are readily available to

1 4 APRIL

2019

continually enhance the education and provide additional opportunities for academic excellence.

With average class sizes of between 16 and 18 children, a more personalised education is possible with each child treated as an individual. e Group employs over 330 teachers, keyworkers, specialists and support staff, with specialist expertise and shared resources contributing to the education. High staff to pupil ratios enable our teams to know each child well in order to provide the correct level of support and challenge in each lesson. is simply is not possible in the average state school where classes can reach 30 or 32.

As a privately-owned group, Oak-Tree is able to fund the most important aspects of a good education, including purchasing new learning resources, developing the ICT provision with smart boards and additional computers, enhancing the curricula with the latest schemes of work and materials, recruiting specialist qualified staff and enhancing after-school activities.

Many of the facilities have been updated at each of the schools over the last few years with around £3m spent so far since 2016 on large projects such as providing new classrooms, kitchens, toilets and even a car park at Oaklands, or extending school halls and upgrading the areas that have an impact on the children’s learning. n

KALEIDOSCOPE Saatchi Gallery, until 5 May 2019

“Kaleidoscope is a timely exploration of our relationship with our surroundings, asking viewers to reconsider the way we engage with our environment - and indeed art itself with our senses”

K

ALEIDOSCOPE is a new exhibition featuring the work of 9 international contemporary artists working across a variety of mediums. It examines the distortion of human perception, moving from normal domestic spaces, to turbulent nautical vistas and eventually complete abstraction.

From the disruptive work of Mia Feuer, who addresses the post-natural landscape and our effect on it, to Pierre Carreau’s emotionally charged depictions of waves, the diverse media on display form a kaleidoscopic representation of the world, revealing a constantly changing sequence of elements and mediums.

Kaleidoscope presents an exciting mixture of contemporary artists from around the world.

Other featured artists include Tillman Kaiser whose dynamic paintings and sculptural works are meditations of history, style and form; Whitney Bedford whose tempestuous seascapes act as motifs for connecting the past and the present, and the young painter Florence Hutchings who will be presenting a series of vivid still-life paintings inspired by everyday life.

Kaleidoscope is a timely exploration of our relationship with our surroundings, asking

Clockwise from top left: Peter Linde Busk; Pierre Carreau; Laura Buckley; Florence Hutchings

Laura Buckley - trained at the Chelsea College of Art and Design, London, and her work features in the Saatchi Gallery and Zabludowicz Collections, among others.

Mia Feuer - received her BFA from the University of Manitoba in 2004 and her MFA in 2009 from the Department of Sculpture + Extended Media at Virginia Commonwealth University. Her work was included in the first ever female only exhibition at The Saatchi Gallery.

Tom Howse - trained at the Wimbledon College of Art, and has exhibited across Europe.

MADDOX GALLERY EXCLUSIVELY LAUNCH

RISING STAR COCO DÁVEZ

R

enowned influential London based art gallery, Maddox Gallery, will exclusively unveil Spanish artist Coco Dávez’s striking collection of ‘Faceless’ portraits in May 2019. The launch of her most acclaimed body of work to date is undoubtedly set to disrupt the art scene in London and further afield.

Madrid based Coco Dávez is a rising star in the arts world. Recently listed in the ‘30 Under 30’ list of most influential artists by Forbes - and tipped this year by GQ Magazine as one of the ’10 Best Artists Working Today’ - Coco was the only Spanish artist included.

Having fully embraced the digital era we live in, Coco has made the most out of her huge popularity on Instagram with her filter-friendly artwork. Using acrylic on canvas, Coco’s chosen subjects play tribute to her idols, many of which have inspired her career to date.

Combining pop art with neorealism, facial features are left blank in the portraits conjuring an air of playfulness by inviting the viewer to a game of ‘Guess Who?’. Instead, the most recognisable characteristics, clothing or accessories help distinguish her most loved artistic icons.

The collection features a range of understated yet ingenious and wildly colourful works, amongst which one can find the likes of Amy Winehouse, JeanMichel Basquiat, David Bowie, Grace Coddington, Picasso, Andy Warhol, Iris Apfel, Richie Tenenbaum and Frida Kahlo amongst many more.

With an established celebrity cult following amongst opinion leaders in Spain, Coco’s artistic approach has been applauded for her pure lines, use of colour and the simplicity of painting faceless portraits. Coco also is a published author having successfully delivered a book of illustrations, which will be launched in English for the first time to coincide with the unveiling of her first

UK solo show on 10th May 2019 at Maddox Gallery Westbourne Grove. She has also exhibited internationally, from Paris and Madrid to Belgium and Santiago de Chile.

Coco Dávez’s colourful universe has led her to collaborate with Chanel, Kenzo, Prada, Desigual, Puma, Bombay Sapphire and Nespresso, amongst other leading brands. Her work includes both painting and photography and has been exhibited in Paris, Queensland, Brussels, Lisbon, Barcelona Madrid, Valencia and San Sebastian. A collection of works will be on display at Maddox Gallery Westbourne Grove from 10th to 31st May 2019.

“The collection features a range of understated yet ingenious and wildly colourful works”

The tour will return to the Globe stage for Refugee Week (17 - 23 June) as part of a wider programme of events in which refugee artists, performers and audiences will all share their stories.

In May, Women & Power will comprise performances, panel events and workshops to highlight the work and voices of women of all backgrounds.

The festival will combine theatre, film, illustration

LIFTING AND OPENING YOUR EYELIDS With Frances Furlong

T

his month we focus on the eye area, it is no surprise that the most common plastic surgery requested, is for eyelid surgery known as blepharoplasty.

With age our skin thins, collagen and elastin levels deplete leading to sagging. Out of all of the facial areas, the eye area shows this ageing process firstly, ‘ many believe that the eyes are the window to the soul, unfortunately they also betray how old we are!’

working from the new Ridgeway Clinic in Chingford, I tell all my clients eyebrows are so important in framing a face, using a combination approach to create a more youthful eye area is key to success.

Treatments that can help make the eyes look younger and fresher:-

Semi permanent make up solutions

Non surgical - Muscle relaxing injections great at helping to lessen the appearance of crows feet due to overuse of muscles. Also carefully placed product can result in a brow lift and reduce the look of hooding.

Dermal filler - depletion in fat to the temple areas and low eyebrow position can all be helped with small amounts of Hyaluronic Acid dermal filler to replace and restore lost volume that has attributed to a tired, sunken eye area.

Furthermore treating hollow under eyes or deep tear trough lines can make a person look instantly fresher. However in some cases surgery could be the only option. See an experienced practitioner who can advise you on the right treatment program.

Plexr Plasma - A clever technique which involves plasma to help shrink, tighten and lift excessive skin to the upper and lower eyelids, can be used instead of or prior to surgery as it greatly improves skin texture.

Tired eye treatments - A bespoke combination of Derma pen and mesotherapy eye rejuvenation products to help the colour and texture of the skin under the delicate eye area.

Caci treatments are also a great way of boosting the eyelid skin, lift 6 gives amazing results and the muscle lifting action can help sagging facial muscles due to the ageing process.

I would like to introduce you all to Lorna Flower who I am delighted to announce is

Eyebrows Eyebrows completely frame the face and when designed correctly they can open the eyes and promote a more youthful appearance. Achieving natural looking eyebrows everyday using make up is not only time consuming but can be both inconvenient and frustrating. We use a range of different techniques to suit each client’s requirements:Hair strokes - Imitating your natural brow hairs giving a soft and natural finish.

Powder Brow - Giving a full but soft and natural coverage.

Block Brow - A bold and full looking brow.

Ombré brow - Starting soft at the front and gaining definition slowly throughout.

Eyes - An eyeliner that does not smudge, wear away or let you down at those emotional moments! From a fine line through your top, bottom or both sets of lashes to enhance definition or a thicker eyeliner to give that wow factor. We offer a range of eyeliners to suit each client’s requirements:Eyelash enhancement - A thin eyeliner right through the base of the lashes.

Classic eyeliner - Starting with a lash enhancement but adding thickness.

Latino style - For beautiful even flicks added to a classic eyeliner. n

Many believe that the eyes are the window to the soul, unfortunately they also betray how old we are!’

Ken lived in Norfolk in a wonderful house called Reymerson hall a Georgian property, which is situated between Dereham and Hingham, he famously kept and flew his collection of autogyros, including Little Nellie, which he designed himself, he flew these locally up until his 96th birthday.

Sadly Wing Commander Wallis died at the

Keith and Liz have been customers of Bathworks for about ten years using them on a couple of projects, they like the quality products they oer and the personal service they get from Bathworks Ltd. Keith and Liz bought Reymerson hall as a family home and an investment to renovate and run as a wedding and function venue and all the sanitary and bathroom furniture will be bought from Bathworks Although this will be a big project the end result will be a fabulous venue.

What does never-ending glory look like to you?

Is it riches and fame? Success or happiness? For Jan Plechac and Henry Wielgus it’s the ability to mo ove through time, recapturing passionate emotions through minimal design. Designed to emulate iconic chandeliers from fiivve of the world’s most distinguished concert halls, the Neverending Glory collection takes Neoclassical splendour and reinterprets it for the modern age. Using traditional Czech glass-blowing techniques, each pendant spins a historic story while creating new emotions and memories in the eye of the beholder. As the classic becomes contemporary, y, Lasvit leaaves just one question for design enthusiasts.

At once a decoratiivvve element and a handy storage solution, Geoffreyy encourages you to keep track of important possessions sions via the stylish brass dish and metal rack. Equally lly useful as a bedroom clothes stand, its aesthetics of scale create a quirky design that’s a delight to lo ook at and live with.

THE HOPPS PARTNERSHIP PARTY WALLS AND SURVEYS

F

or most people, purchasing a house will be the most expensive transaction they will have undertaken often many hundreds of thousands of pounds. It therefore stands to reason that the wisest thing one can do is to understand as much as possible about the property before entering into a binding contract.

To obtain more information about the property the most efficient thing to do is to commission a chartered surveyor to inspect that property prior to commitment to purchase. e surveyor will attend and inspect from top to bottom collecting notes as they go as well as photographs and will then prepare a full report which should be written out in terms that anyone can understand. e report will give information on roofing defects, problems with the gutters, structural defects and damp to name a few but ultimately will highlight any defect which could end up

5 6 APRIL 2019

costing you money on taking ownership of that house.

Armed with a survey pointing out defects, it is possible to begin to get a picture of some of the costs that will be incurred and make an informed decision firstly whether to proceed with the purchase and secondly to renegotiate the price of the property. For example there may be £10,000 worth of structural work required and that will enable you to reopen negotiation reduce the price of the property accordingly effectively rerating the value closer to where it should have been in the first instance.

Proceeding with a house purchase without a survey is risky business, at the Hopps Partnership we provide the highest level of service and will always talk you through defects we find on site. n

GERARD’S PROPERTY SERVICES

W

hether you like it or not, the world is evolving, and it was only a matter of time before our homes turned technical. e term ‘smart home’ has been penned, describing a place filled with Wi-Fi controlled gadgets and soon you’ll be able to control everything from your smartphone.

As with any modern gadget, they can appear almost space-like but there are a number of smart home appliances that can be integrated in your home with ease. Home tech is better than ever and ultimately changing the way we live so why not invite them into your house this month?

1. Nest Smoke Detector. is smoke detector has an industrial style smoke sensor, can be silenced from your phone, tests itself automatically and lasts for up to 10 years. What’s more, it also makes you aware of any problems and alerts your phone.

2. Phillips Hue Starter Kit. Control the atmosphere of your room with your phone.

Change the lighting colour, control 50 bulbs on one app and sync them with other gadgets.

Fancy flashing lights when you get a text message?

3. Electric Window Blinds. Remote control your window fittings and with some systems, automate when you would like them open and closed.

4. Nest ermostat. Slash your energy bill and boost your smart home with this thermostat. is device learns how you like your home and adjusts the heat accordingly as well as being controlled through your phone.

5. iKettle. Save time and boil from anywhere

in the house as well as setting up wake up alarms.

What’s better than walking in the front door to a boiled kettle ready to pour?

6. Smart Garage Door Opener. is handy gadget turns your phone into a transmitter for your garage door or gate. Receiving signals from your phone your chosen gate or door will open and close quickly and safely.

7. 360 Smart Bed. Not yet released, this bed will change the way you sleep. Ensuring you get a great nights sleep, the latest addition to smart home gadgets adjusts to body positions, tracks sleeping habits, wakes you up at the optimum time and can also detect snoring raising your head to clear your airwaves. We want one!

8. Canary Security System. is device gives you all you need to keep your home safe.

Watching for intruders, Canary will send you reports of any irregular activity and also monitor air quality and the temperature of your home.

9. Logitech Circle. Watch over your home from anywhere with this portable device. Link with your phone and you can use the app to send voice commands. You’ll never have to worry about the dog being on the sofa again…

10.iRobot Roomba. You’ll never have to trip over those pesky wires again as Roomba drives itself around the home, hoovering up as it goes before driving itself back to the start to charge.

Mind Blown!

It may take some time getting used to all of the gadgets available but there’s no denying that once accepted into the family home, they can upgrade living in ways that have never been seen and for 2019, a smart home is the only home you need. n

This lets me focus on what is important, the people we are moving” Amanda has been looking after clients moves for over 15 years now.
