#BLAW exists to help spread awareness of baby loss, for those who haven't had direct experience. We know for these people, baby loss can be a taboo subject. With this in mind, we asked our community what they wish more people knew about baby loss. Read what they said below:

Parents going through #BabyLoss or #PregnancyLoss need sensitive, compassionate, individualised care 💙🧡 Our survey identified areas of care getting better and others that need to be improved. Find out more 👇 sands.org.uk/experience-of-… #BLAW #BLAW2023

PLEASE SHARE BBC!! Having just told 1.6 million Doctors viewers “At 38 weeks the baby doesn’t move as much because there’s not enough room” you need to correct this!!! BABYS DO NOT SLOW DOWN..The show has already gone out so please at least share this information now.

Do you understand the true cost/impact of poor retention? 👉 You’ve lost excellent experience 👉 Lengthy recruitment process 👉 Lost all that commitment 👉 Pay extra to backfill the gap £££ 👉 Months for someone new to learn 👉 Reduced productivity 👉 Circle repeated

Before labelling staff as “disengaged” 👉Question your approach 👉Challenge your bias Do they feel threatened? Are relationships at risk? Do they see the vision? Is the pace right? Is there trust & understanding? What’s in it for them? Are there power imbalances? Scared of loss?

To those who are quiet Standing on the outskirts Taking time to think & reflect Who are patient and thoughtful Who include everyone Who listen & build perspective… …Your value and worth is high Leaders, Don’t let loudness drown them out 🦉
