🎥 Watch Part 3: Near misses are where the biggest learning often lies.

These are among the important conversations we will continue at the National Maternity Safety Conference 2026.

🗣️ “Trust cannot grow when people feel unable to speak openly.”

In Part 2 of our interview series, Sue Holden reflects on what happens when people enter important conversations feeling guarded, cautious or unable to speak honestly.

To build trust across maternity services, we must create space for open, honest and human conversations, even when those conversations are difficult.

These are among the important discussions we will continue at the National Maternity Safety Conference 2026.

🤱 Supporting every family, every feeding journey and every informed choice.

This , we are recognising the importance of providing women and families with clear information, compassionate care and consistent support throughout pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.

The 2026 theme, “Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works”, highlights the need to build on the services, policies and practices that help parents feel informed, respected and supported.

Every feeding journey is personal. Not every family can or chooses to breastfeed, and parents should always feel listened to and supported to make informed decisions that are right for them and their baby.
