Summary

This call for evidence is for all stakeholders who deliver support and services to pregnant women and mothers of infants under the age of two with criminal justice involvement in London. Your insights and expertise will inform the development of a co-designed service, which will be piloted for two years following the co-design process. The process will gather insights into women’s needs, how these are currently being addressed by services and systems, and what we have learnt that could improve them.

We are focusing on services and professionals so that we can conduct a thorough mapping of service provision, and understand good practice, gaps in services, and any barriers to referrals, engagement, and partnership working. A lived experience consultation will run parallel to this call for evidence and throughout the co-design process. Our lived experience advisory group fed into the questions forming this call for evidence.

The call for evidence takes the form of a survey, and will be open until 5pm on Monday 17th November.
