Disabled women face significantly poorer outcomes in pregnancy and birth - but maternity services are often not designed to meet their needs. This Birth Trauma Week we are supporting @Birth_Trauma_Association shine a light on inequalities in maternal care. #BTAW25

To mark #BirthTraumaAwarenessWeek, we are delighted to share this blog from Nikki Morgan, Perinatal and Infant Mental Health Lead Health Visitor, Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust: buff.ly/FoEWTp5

It’s Birth Trauma Awareness Week. This year, we focus on marginalised groups facing extra barriers in maternity care, from racial disparities to challenges faced by disabled and neurodivergent mothers. Let’s listen. Let’s learn. Let’s do better. #GoodMaternityCareforAll #BTAW25
