Make bereavment training mandatory for all midwives

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Midwives all need to be trained in bereavment and explaining options to parents with regards to cuddle cots and funeral choices

Too many women lose babies every single day and the support is just not there for them it needs to change at the source from the second they lose the baby not 3 weeks later or sometimes never!

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Decisions on training for midwives are a matter for the Nursing and Midwifery Council, about which you can find out more here:

We could accept a petition calling for the Government to fund more bereavement training and support for parents, if that's something you'd like to see happen.

You might also be interested to know that the House of Commons will be holding a debate later today on Baby Loss Awarness Week. You'll be able to watch live, or afterwards at www.parliamentlive.tv
