This course will prepare you to apply for the role of Maternity Support Worker and prompts you to explore the role of the maternity support worker, and the value of what they do for new mothers, babies and families. It explores some common maternity conditions such as miscarriage, stillbirth, baby jaundice, infant feeding, induction of labour, what happens during a caesarean section, for example. This course will help you develop professional attributes such as reflection, and contribute to the development of those around you. You will be asked to complete a weekly learning diary and one short answer quiz following each day. The course asks students to work together in small groups to plan a presentation to the wider group about the issues you have explored in this course and how it is changing thinking and action in your lives, and will help you to apply for the role of a maternity support worker.
