I need help with this Employment Law assignment! Please :)

Deborah had just started work as an administrator when she discovered she was pregnant. This was a surprise as she was on a waiting list for NHS fertility treatment. She was advised by a colleague not to tell the company straightaway as the MD would be upset.Deborah passed her probationary period and decided to tell her line manager about her pregnancy before her first hospital scan. When Deborah returned to work she was immediately dismissed on the grounds that her performance was not up to scratch.

a. Deborah does not know if she has been discriminated against and would like you write to her, explaining the key features of employment law as it relates to equality of opportunity for employees and prospective employees?
b. Can you also evaluate the importance and some of the consequence of anti-discrimination employment law?

I need help with part A of this question. I understand part b.
