Last year we published new research and practical guidance to support health bodies and regulators in tackling persistent race inequalities in maternity and neonatal care.

With maternal mortality rates disproportionately affecting Black and Asian women in the UK, there is a pressing need for action.

Our resource supports

- compliance with the Public Sector Equality Duty
- evidence-based improvements in care delivery and oversight

It includes recommended actions for ICBs, GP practices, regulators and ombudsmen, and will support practitioners, policy makers and leaders working to embed equality into maternity care.
