Finding Support Together: Families Affected by the Ockenden Maternity Review

On Tuesday 3rd November, Big Stepping Stones, in partnership with Brain Injury Group, will be hosting a drop-in support event at Nottingham Racecourse for families affected by maternity or neonatal care at Nottingham University Hospitals, including those affected by the issues highlighted in the Ockenden Maternity Review.

Our event provides an informal, welcoming space where families can come together, find out more about the support available, speak with people who have relevant professional or lived experience, and ask questions without pressure or judgement. Families will also have the opportunity to access information and guidance from our in-house midwife and connect with others who understand their experiences.

We help families access specialist advice and support across a range of areas, including rehabilitation, care, education and legal matters.

• Speak with other families in a welcoming environment
• Access professional resources and guidance
• Hear from families and professionals through short talks
• A safe space to talk maternity care and maternity harm with our experience midwife

The impact of a serious injury around birth extends beyond the child. Parents and wider families can find themselves balancing their child’s immediate needs with concerns about their development, education, independence and long-term future.

If you or your family would like to access support and guidance following, come along, meet the team and find out more and connect with others who understand.
