Rejected petition Make bereavment training mandatory for all midwives

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

More details

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!

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

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

https://www.nmc.org.uk/

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

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
