The For Baby's Sake Trust supports the recent #BirthTrauma Inquiry by the APPG, which reveals alarming insights into the UK's maternity care.   The findings, which were shared with ministers on Monday, reveal that substandard #MaternityCare is frequently tolerated as normal, leading to devastating consequences for many women and their families.   Over 1,300 women shared distressing experiences, highlighting the urgent need for change. Key recommendations, which we wholeheartedly echo, include:   👉Appointing a Maternity Commissioner. 👉Ensuring safe staffing levels. 👉Universal access to maternal mental health services. 👉Addressing care inequalities, especially for parents of global majority heritage.    We stand with Make Birth Better, Five X More, and all of the incredible individuals and organisations calling for a commitment to improved maternity care.   Let’s work together to create a maternity system where poor care is the exception, not the rule. https://lnkd.in/ewiFYt3A
