As the host of Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnerships across the South West (Gloucestershire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall), we are committed to amplifying the experiences of parents, expectant parents and their families. The information below is particularly relevant to our community.

Baroness Amos is calling on women and families throughout England to contribute their views and personal experiences of maternity and neonatal services as part of a nationwide Call for Evidence. The information gathered will help shape the conclusions and recommendations of the National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation, guiding future improvements in care.

The Call for Evidence runs from 20 January to 17 March 2026. Two separate surveys are available: one for women and anyone who has experienced pregnancy, and another for partners, relatives, friends, or others who provided support during pregnancy. Participants must be 16 years of age or older to take part.

All submissions will remain anonymous, and the final deadline for responses is 11:59pm on 17 March 2026.

The interim national review into England’s maternity services has found care to be “much worse” than expected, with basic failings such as women being left hungry, in dirty wards and without compassionate treatment, revealing deep systemic problems.
