Let's say I work as a social worker (taxes through PAYE) and am on (statutory) maternity leave.
Let's say a local contact centre are looking for people to work there, on a freelance basis.
Am I allowed to work for them and continue to get statutory pay through my permanent social work contract?

From the government website: "Tell your employer you want to stop work to have a baby and the day you want your SMP to start. You must give them at least 28 days’ notice (in writing if they ask for it) and proof that you’re pregnant."
It seems quite clear that you get maternity leave payments so you can stop to work. If you don't stop to work, you have no right to payments. If you stop to work for your company but then start working for someone else, then you don't stop to work and have no rights to payment.
You don't get paid money as a reward for having a child. You get paid money so you can afford to stop working and look after your child instead. If you don't stop working, there is no reason to give you money.

While it seems probable this is the right answer, it looks like you are just explaining your opinion. Since we're on law.SE here, would you consider citing the relevant regulations?
