Raising a formal grievance about boss... to boss

Hmm. difficult to know how best to handle it. I guess wait till you hear back from both solicitors and work out which points they do agree on.
At least you'll have some wording to use from the solicitors, so if/when you do write your grievance you'll sound like you know what you're talking about !
The grievance meeting might be sufficient to stop your boss in his plans and you hopefully won't need to go to tribunal.
If you decide to let sleeping dogs lie then still you'll have prepared yourself if your boss decides to give you a formal warning.
All the best

just a word of caution before you set down your formal grievance route, not saying you should or shouldn't - just I recall a similar situation when I returned from mat leave many years ago...
My job status had changed, I felt no longer part of the team, it settled down. And you have been back such a short time - would it be better just to settle back in to work before giving yourself all this grief.
Retrospectively - in my situation - part of the problem was me - I was different, being off on mat leave dents your confidence, and in the time you are absent, other members of staff bond, take on new roles, and I felt unsure of myself as a result - like the new kid on staff almost. It is a delicate balancing act initially, however, once you have settled into the routine again, gradually it all becomes normal.
Balancing work with new childcare demands is hard enough without all this. My suggestion would be wait a bit...
good luck anyway0 -

Do you have legal cover on your home insurance? If so, speak to them as that may be a cheap or even free way to get the advice you need.0
