Maternity and newborn support awareness

This self-assessment helps you reflect on your confidence in maternity and newborn support awareness. It is for maternity support workers and healthcare assistants in UK healthcare settings. It helps identify learning needs and areas to discuss. It does not confirm competence and does not replace formal training, supervision, observation of practice, employer checks, professional judgement or local policy. If you score 1 or 2 on any statement, treat this as a priority learning need. Follow employer policy and speak with your manager, supervisor or designated lead before carrying out related tasks independently.
