For my beautiful baby who had her life stolen from her. For all the babies who should be here. For all the babies who would be here if their parents' concerns had been listened to. For all the babies who would be here if they'd recieved basic care. For all babies gone too soon.

A special @ITVCentral programme we made back in April about the maternity crisis in the Midlands. It’s long been clear this isn’t just a few hospitals or regions where there are deep concerns, it is everywhere. #cqc itv.com/watch/news/special-p…

Grateful to @CareQualityComm for sharing embargoed copy of their maternity report but trying so hard not to scream WE TOLD YOU SO whilst reading it. We were right about @sathNHS, we continue to be right about what's wrong across England, Wales, NI & Scotland's maternity services.

And ‘people like us’ have to live with the oft bleated refrain that no one in the saintly NHS goes to work to cause harm. MY lived experience - & that of my daughters - well, ‘it ain’t necessarily so.’ If you are lucky to work in a care environment, do care. Please. Or you hurt.

Thousands of dads are denied the same rights as mothers if their children die due to negligence. The law on statutory #bereavement compensation in England, Wales and NI is completely out of touch with what a family looks like in 2024.

Scandals such as the Post Office and infected blood show two broad failings:
1) We are too quick to believe institutions and public bodies have our best interests at heart and can be trusted.
2) We are far too quick to dismiss the concerns of victims.
Both must change.

I would like to pay tribute to all the bereaved parents who lead quiet battles. Some scared to jeopardise the legal processes they're going through, some who choose to keep their stories private. From their messages, it's the love for their children which shines through.

You can have all the Ockenden and Kirkup reports that you want but NOTHING will change while the bereaved, survivors and their families are held in such contempt by some practitioners….

At £158 of a £10,000 target with just 13 weeks until my first extreme challenge.
Please can as many people retweet as possible, and if you can make a contribution to help me get this moving, it would be incredible.
No matter what, I will keep going.

It’s a sad state of affairs when mothers share their stories in order to try to achieve accountability, change and justice because Trusts adopt a “defend and deny” culture.

Three mothers who gave birth at hospitals in the Midlands say they felt let down by maternity services, with one woman saying she was even blamed for her baby's death.

Tonight @ITVCentral we investigate the maternity care crisis in the Midlands. More than two-thirds of services in our region ‘require improvement’. @JournoChar & I speak to families who've suffered harm & loss. AND @DOckendenLtd & THIS whistleblower on why change is needed now.

This just got me. “Silent pain evokes no response” … “if you don’t speak up, injustice and service failure continue unchanged.” 🔥 Thank you to all who do.
As he prepares to leave after 7 years as NHS ombudsman Rob Behrens lets rip on NHS reputation management, cynically burying evidence of poor care, cover up culture, targeting whistleblowers etc theguardian.com/society/2024…

We're concerned @VictoriaAtkins suggested problems with maternity services were only in ‘darker corners’ of the NHS. This fails to recognise systemic issues failing mums & babies.
Together with @SandsUK we've written to the Secretary of State for Health: bit.ly/3x4AOkY

Just 1 donation so far in 2024 is soul destroying.
I am doing the 2 extreme challenges in memory of our baby girl that I held in my arms & then carried to her own funeral.
If anyone can RT to help me get my target moving , this would be appreciated.

Each wk brings new heartbreaking stories of preventable harm in maternity services. These aren’t isolated incidents requiring heroic intervention; they’re common complications addressable with basic medical knowledge & routine care. It’s time 4 systematic change. #maternitysafety
