Mission Statement

The Federation of Antenatal Educators wants the implementation of a regulatory structure for Antenatal Educators. This regulatory structure can act as a means to guide agencies and legislators in developing guidelines and laws which will in turn act to regulate the provision of Antenatal Education in the United Kingdom.

A regulatory structure will ensure the continuity of course content and facilitation and provide reassurance to parents that their course is being delivered in an appropriate manner by qualified and insured educators.

Aims

• Agree a set of common standards for the practice and training of Antenatal Education
• Develop a single register of antenatal teachers in the UK
• Develop a core curriculum
• Foster research into antenatal education
