FEDANT Parents Survey 2008

Following the NHS Survey of Women's Experience of Maternity Care which contained only three questions relating to antenatal education, the Regulator for antenatal education in the United Kingdom FEDANT, is seeking the views of parents who have attended antenatal classes within the last five years. The responses to this survey will contribute to the development of the National Occupational Standard for Antenatal Education in the United Kingdom.
