Navigating maternity care while in the asylum system

Best for Baby Too film

Co-created with experts by experience, the powerful film, ‘When You Know…Childbirth in the asylum system’, explores themes of fear, access and isolation.

Developed as part of the Best for Baby Too Improvement Collaborative in Liverpool, this moving film highlights stark, personal testimonies of five women with lived experience of navigating maternity care while living under asylum restrictions.

The film is aimed at raising awareness of the hidden challenges faced by this group of pregnant women, and will be used to train midwives, GPs, maternal and healthcare professionals nationally.

This project is being supported by the NHS Race and Health Observatory.
