We have to ensure that all voices are heard and especially marginalised groups are represented and listened to. We need practical and effective recommendations to make changes happen and we have to make sure that they are not only implemented but upheld! #safematernitycare #nhsmaternitycare #equalityinmaternityservices

Today the UK Government has announced the 14 NHS Trusts that they will focus on within the National Investigation into Maternity Services… The care must be improved and we need practical and effective recommendations that are followed in order to make this change happen. It’s time to truly listen to expectant parents, valuing their experiences and ensuring that recommendations and policies are not only implemented but upheld. Ensuring that all voices are heard and represented throughout. Placing those pregnant, expectant parents, mum and dads at the heart of maternity services is paramount. Expectant parents deserve to feel safe, cared for and nurtured. So we can see more happier and healthier mums, dads and babies Hopefully within the Trusts involved, those currently pregnant, expectant parents and staff are fully supported throughout this process. And those who have already contributed to the numerous previous enquiries are being supported too. Building trust and ensuring all are listened to is a must! #improvingmaternityservices #safematernitycare #NHSmaternitycare
