Hampshire Thames Valley maternity safety forum ran a staff safety and wellbeing session on 17 February 2021 for all maternity staff in response to continued pressures in systems. It is now available to view for any staff who were unable to attend the session on the day.

The webinar includes:

• Signposting to wellbeing resources and advice
• Details and discussion of #SpacesForListening – a support approach

Further information about #SpacesForListening can be found in the two blogs published below:

The first is a blog from November 2020 by the two speakers at the safety forum. This one explains the approach, and gives a flavour of the experiences with the spaces over the past year. Blog link

The second has been written by Claire Longmuir and her colleague Melissa in Simon Community Scotland about their experiences of introducing #SpacesForListening in this charity in Glasgow. Blog link
