For Asees, Grace and Aliona, always 🤍🕊️
And all those babies and mothers gone too soon. 🤍🕊️
Families welcome progress in maternity care inquiry bbc.in/4d5PbIb

It has taken almost 7 years to get the first bit of individual accountability for Aliona despite this being “serious misconduct” and yet somehow, we are one of the “lucky ones” to have got this far - so many others who are the same also deserve this.

This should be in place already. It’s a sad state of affairs that once again, it falls on grieving, campaigning families to fight for change.
Aubrey deserved better, Asees deserved the same.
Thanks @DadOfAubrey for continuing to speak up for all our babies gone too soon 🤍🕊️
I spoke to @SkyNews about why stillborn babies like Aubrey are denied access to coroners.
Parliament acted in 2019. Seven years later: no report, no timetable.
One breath should not decide whether a baby’s death can be investigated.

This Baby Loss Awareness Week and always, we remember every baby who has died and stand with every family living with loss 🤍
It has been a hugely significant year for maternity - from the Ockenden and Amos reports published, to the Thirlwall Inquiry, progress towards a National Maternity Commissioner, and new reviews beginning in Leeds and Sussex.
Through all of this, lived experience must be at the heart of change.
📢 Next week, a debate on Baby Loss will be held in the House of Commons. Email your MP and ask them to take part on 12th Oct: writetothem.com/
We owe it to every baby lost and every family left grieving to listen, learn and make maternity care safer.
Another day advocating for our babies 🤍🕊️
Families whose babies died or were harmed while under the care of maternity services in Leeds have met with Yvette Cooper.
The health secretary says she wants a new national framework of standards to be in place before Christmas.

A year ago today, families wrote to the Lord Chancellor asking that the then 6½-year-old duty to report was completed.
A year later… we have only just secured a meeting. Another year’s worth of stillborn babies denied justice.
Today is publication day. Please do take a look if you get the chance.
For all those babies and mothers gone too soon 🤍🕊️

“It’s essential for him to take an interest in maternity and women’s health to show it is serious, that he recognises ours and our children’s lives do matter - show it is a national scandal.”
@andyburnham @10DowningStreet needs to finally show a commitment to improving services.

This applies to Leeds and right across the country.
“It is scandalous that the safety of expectant mothers and new born children has been compromised. They are the most vulnerable in society and as such the NHS should not be putting them in harm’s way.” yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opi…
Thank you for covering this important issue @FranceTV
All for Princess Asees and those mothers and babies not with us today 🤍🕊️

1/3 Thank you Families.
Today we met with 100+ families, MPs, local charities, regional & national media, and the regulators to facilitate the first family meeting in Leeds to discuss the Review’s Terms of Reference. @DOckendenLtd

Thinking of all the brave families coming together in Leeds today as the maternity review is finally launched. Such a lot of work has gone into getting to this point
A monumental day at the launch of the maternity inquiry here in Leeds.
Grateful forever to my bereavement sisters, @Laurenncaul @FionaWinserRamm. Our beautiful girls would be so proud 🫂🤍
Thanks to @DOckendenLtd and her team for an amazing day 🙏🏽

Still feels surreal that our review is happening. Meeting so many new families today reminded me exactly why this is needed.
I am so grateful to the brilliant families I have met along the way, in particular @FionaWinserRamm, @alionasdad, @ambikmatharoo and Mandip.
