Maternity Service, Not Leave: A New Perspective - with Emma Barnett

Sobre este episodio

Today's episode is all about a one-word switch that is going to completely reframe an experience that most of us will have had. We're joined by the amazing journalist and broadcaster Emma Barnett, whose voice you'll recognise from Radio 4's Today programme and Woman's Hour. She's with us to talk about changing the phrase 'maternity leave' to 'maternity service' and how that simple switch changes everything. We talk to Emma about her experience as a mother, why we have to prepare women better for their journeys as mothers, and Emma shares some brilliant practical tips for your maternity service and beyond.
