It is underpinned by principles of equality, diversity, and inclusion. The Charter was created in response to healthcare learners’ feedback on their clinical experiences in maternity services, set out in the Kirkup (2015 and 2022) and Ockenden (2020 and 2022) reports.
The Charter has been developed through extensive engagement and co-production with colleagues across NHS England and our partners, including learners, educators, leaders, universities, patient representatives and professional regulators.
