I'm probably going to write a #babylossawarenessweek debrief soon but would like to say a few things about why the campaign is important @BLA_Campaign

@BLA_Campaign

@BLA_Campaign I'm still speaking to bereaved parents that are struggling to find the psychological support they need. #babylossawarenessweek #OutofSight

@BLA_Campaign

One mother did manage to get counselling after an 18 week wait. The counselling was held in the antenatal ward @BLA_Campaign #babylossawarenessweek #OutOfSight

I'm seeing a lot of flack directed at awareness weeks. I can see they are problematic and can be viewed as a cheap way of acknowledging an issue without addressing the root causes / issues underpinning them.

Particularly around mental health there is a justifiable anger about focus on certain more 'acceptable' forms over others and the gaping void between intent and outcome of 'talk to someone'.

Awareness weeks are a chance for people with lived experience to come forward, talk about it and encourage others to either talk of their own if ready or seek support.

For those that missed the #BabyLossDebate with @Sandbach @willquince @VictoriaPrentis @drcarolinej @LilianGreenwood @gareththomasmp @benmlake @PGibsonSNP @HughGaffneyMP @jimshannonmp @martinjdocherty @stevebarclaymp bit.ly/2ysYFJf

@Sandbach @willquince @VictoriaPrentis @drcarolinej @LilianGreenwood @GarethThomasMP @BenMLake @PGibsonSNP @HughGaffneyMP @JimShannonMP @MartinJDocherty This was an example of politics at its best. No point scoring, yah-booing. It was a shame it was so poorly attended. #babylossdebate

@Sandbach @willquince @VictoriaPrentis @drcarolinej @LilianGreenwood @GarethThomasMP @BenMLake @PGibsonSNP @HughGaffneyMP @JimShannonMP @MartinJDocherty This wasn't just sad stories, it was a collective will and demonstration of joint working to improve not only awareness but prevention, bereavement care and holding the Government to account on maternity care #BabyLossDebate

I have been quiet of late, much thinking though. I have awoken from my dormant state by news that #BabyLossAwareness week will be marked with a documentary

I have very, very mixed feelings about this. I have seen the comments from participants urging critics to wait and see and not believe the 'media hype' about the film.

I have no doubt of the sincerity of these pleas. I find it difficult though to support a film based on highly questionable ethics no matter the aim it hopes to achieve.

Late night thoughts on #babyloss the workplace and #FindingTheWords @SandsUK

There's been big steps in #KeepTalkingMH in the workplace that hasn't quite made the shift for #babyloss due to a pervasive stigma and taboo. #FindingTheWords
