Pre-Birth Planning Toolkit
Updated: November 2024
Hospital Risk Assessment added to useful resources.
Updated: August 2024
Updates to the Pre-birth safeguarding plan template:
- Wording changes to consider safeguarding needs in the early postnatal period (as well as during the birth).
- Clearer definition of whether parenting observations (health staff recording their observations of parenting whilst delivering clinical care) or supervision (arrangements made by Children’s Social Care to ensure the safety of the baby) are required.
- Additional question asking whether a Children’s Social Care Hospital Risk Assessment is required. This assessment is only used in high risk situations to manage the safety of the child in relation to the risk posed by the parents or family.
