For Birthworkers and Doulas
TRAINING FOR DOULAS, BIRTHWORKERS AND PEER SUPPORTERS (HALF DAY)
Does your organisation support women and birthing people? Do you want to empower your staff and volunteers in how they can use the law to advocate for safer care for their service users? Our module “Human Rights in Maternity Care: helping others navigate the system” is a half-day training day that can be delivered online or in person to support your organisation to advocate for women and birthing people.
- For all participants to understand where human rights come from and how they apply to maternity care.
- For all participants to feel confident in identifying actions they can take to help a client address a human rights breach.
- For all participants to feel empowered to support clients to advocate for themselves.
Half-day:
We want to make sure that our training is relevant to the work that your organisation does, and the challenges that your staff and volunteers come up against. We can tailor case studies to ensure that we discuss the concerns or themes that your team have identified in their own work.
We request feedback from all participants straight after the session, which we then anonymise and share with the organiser. All participants receive a certificate which outlines what session they attended and what the objectives of that session were, which they can use for CPD purposes. Participants also receive a PDF of the slides and access to a Padlet full of resources, so that they can continue the learning.
