New Guides on Complaints Process

Two new guides are available on our website about the complaints process at the College. One newly created guide outlines what midwives can expect if a complaint or report is made against them, along with timelines and a list of possible outcomes. The other new guide is written for clients to understand what they could expect should they make a complaint about care received by a midwife. You can read both new guides here.
