Here are some resources that may be useful to staff and service users alike. Please be aware that we are not recommending any of the resources but are just sharing their availability, and are not responsible for their content. It is against the policy of Rosie Maternity Voices to promote paid services. However, due to the significant demands on NHS services we have made the decision to allow local links to paid offers to be placed here (** indicates pay to access), if the service might be of specific benefit to service users or staff due to NHS or Local Authority services being less available.
