anon Asked: Pregnancy Agency Workers UK?

A friend of mine is pregnant and was working as an agency worker.

The situation is:

1. Told Agency and the hirer she was pregnant on 27th Dec
2. Confirmed in writing she was pregnant 30th Dec.
3. Completed her 12 weeks to gain basic employment rights on the 24th Dec.
4. Had been asking for a risk assessment from the 27th Dec.
5. Was told on the 6th Jan she should have a week off by the hirer and agency.
6. Was informed by agency on 9th Jan that the hirer did not want her back on assignment for reasons of "time consuming".
7. She sent letters to hirer and agency to say that the reason for her removal from the assignment was discrimination on 13th Jan.

She has a meeting with Citizens advice on the 23 rd Jan for which they intend to go for tribunal, but as she has a meeting with the agency on the 26 th Jan, I have to go with her on that date as CAB will not.

I know the agency should pay her or find alternative work if she was removed off the assignment by reasons of health and safety whilst she isnt at the assignment, should they be paying her even if they argue the reason isnt for health and safety reasons as there has been no risk assessment?

Any reasonable comments welcome, it would mean a lot as she is facing losing her home in two weeks as she can not claim housing benefits.

I know it's long, but you'll enjoy it (hopefully)…

Okay, I met this lad about two months ago in a bar; and he really came onto me, and I was a little shy, but anyway he started texting me after that (a few pretty graphic ones too lol); (He also told me that he was being treated for bipolarity, I'm bipolar too) but anyway, I said we should go for a drink sometime, and he he said 'Where?? When? lol' which kind of threw me off; but we ended up meeting the next day (a few hours before he said 'you know it's not a date?' what?); and it was kind of awkward (which is expected), and he went home a little early, and just kind of stopped being eager.
Anyway, I met him a third time a while afterwards. He asked me what I was doing tonight, I said nothing, and he replied saying 'nothing' too. SO I said, well ******* hell, do u want to go to town so he said 'maybe, u?' (wtf???)- I THen found out he'd been at a meal and was in a suit, and had invited two people he'd met on Grindr (wtf???). But we had a good night, and he texts me again with the graphic stuff, to which I say we'll do it for real next time, to which he says 'why didn't you say so?' (wtf?)

Which brings us to the latest round; a week later he asked me if I wanted to go to town that night (it's a farther away one, we had to stay in a hotel). He said he'd rented it with a mate, but his mate had backed out ; so I said sure. So we went (he tried going on Grindr again, but didn't find anyone) but we had a good laugh again, really funny (he said 'we should go out more often…') but he tried picking up lads there (they got stopped at the hotel).
When we got into bed, he just turned to go to sleep, until I propositioned, on which he jumps on the chance; and to be fair, it was pretty crap, I was drunk and tired and I'm pretty awkward anyway lol (I didn't even come in the end; sorry, it might be relevant I duno). So the next morning we're both a bit rough, but we still have a bit of banter, and we part ways (before he goes he says 'alright, text me…')

Next day I ask him if he's alright. Get no reply. Hour later I say 'Oy!'. No reply. So I say 'Oy! D*ckhead, you ignoring me?? :p' still no reply, and that was about a week ago.

Now I really like this guy, even just as a mate, really fun to be with, but I don;t know what the hell is going on, I don't know what I did; and it's really killing me, really depressing me. I'm kinda new to a lot of this, I've only been with straight lads so far haha. I asked him if he was out yesterday, and he did reply saying 'nah are u' then after I said yea, 'cool'; any advice would be amazing…
