We recommend that you:  

• Let the Birthrights Training Team know if there are any specific issues or concerns that you think need addressing in your Trust or hospital. That includes serious incidents or cases that may have been a while ago, we know that NHS staff are rarely given a chance to debrief and often have ongoing trauma and anxieties from cases that occurred even years earlier. It is really important to us that we enter these spaces understanding the collective experience and history of our participants so that we can facilitate learning and development in a way that is safe for them.   
• Allow your staff to attend Birthrights training during working hours: Birthrights training addresses important educational gaps in maternity care, and it is pivotal that staff are given the opportunity to attend this training during working hours.  
• Take staff who are booked to attend off-rota: staff who are on-call are not given the same time and space to engage and learn.   
• Try to ensure that the session will be attended by a mixture of disciplines and grades: the best learning happens when MDTs come together to learn from each other.   
• As part of our feedback collection, we ask what participants need to be able to deliver rights-respecting care and we share that feedback with you anonymously. We always encourage organisers to use that feedback to continue to do the work to support their staff, and we encourage you to share those next steps with both ourselves and your staff. We can only have rights-respecting maternity care, when staff feel safe and able to deliver that care.
