Community Based Maternity Services Report April 2020

Report - 23 April 2020

The project aimed to speak to women who had given birth in the last 12 months.

Although there were 203 responses to the survey ten of the respondents said that they had not had a baby in the last 12 months and therefore, their responses were removed from the feedback. This means that there were 193 eligible responses to the survey.

We asked the respondents to the survey for their demographic information. The highest number of respondents said that they were aged 25-34 years old (68%); 1% said that they were aged under 17; 17% said that they were aged 35-44 years and 14% said that they were aged 18-24 years old.

71% of respondents said that they identified as White British; 8% said that they identified as British/Asian- Indian and 3% said that they identified as British/Asian- Pakistani. There were no respondents who identified as Bangladeshi; Gypsy or Irish Traveller; Chinese or Arab. 48% of respondents identified as Christian and 27% said that they had no religion or belief. 6% said that they were Muslim and 4% as Sikh. There were no respondents who said that they were Jewish.
