Postnatal Practitioner Registration
Postnatal Practitioner Registration
Apply for professional registration in this category
Help families find you and understand your professional standing. FEDANT registration combines a public National Register listing with professional recognition, practical resources and ongoing guidance. Explore the application route below, including qualification evidence and professional insurance options, with FEDANT Block Scheme Insurance available where eligible.
Who Can Apply?
We welcome applications from practitioners with appropriate qualifications specifically covering postnatal practice. FEDANT assesses your course content, qualification evidence, scope of practice and relevant safety training to confirm that the requirements for this category are met. A job title, general childcare qualification or experience alone does not guarantee admission.
Additional registration categories may be requested during your application where you hold the appropriate qualifications. You may provide your own suitable professional insurance or, where eligible, apply for FEDANT Block Scheme Insurance after the initial registration review.
Admission to the FEDANT National Register may be granted to applicants who can provide evidence of:
Qualification Evidence
A valid qualification as a Postnatal Practitioner issued by a reputable awarding body. Prepare clear, readable evidence of your award and relevant postnatal training for review. We will email you if we need clarification or further evidence for your application.
Professional Insurance
Suitable Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance for the registration category requested. This may be your own policy or FEDANT Block Scheme Insurance, where eligible. Your policy should cover your requested postnatal activities.
Professional Commitment
An undertaking to abide by the FEDANT Code of Ethics and Practice, maintain appropriate professional boundaries, work within the limits of your qualifications and competence, and uphold the standards expected of a FEDANT Registrant.
Applying as a Student?
Student admission follows a separate application route. Review the eligibility, evidence and application information before applying.

Using Your Own Insurance
Provide evidence of a current policy covering you with Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance for the exact category or categories for which registration is requested.
FEDANT Block Scheme Insurance
Eligible applicants may apply for access to the reduced rate FEDANT Block Scheme. Insurance application details are supplied after the initial registration review.
Annual Registration and Insurance Renewals
Check your registration and insurance renewal dates and arrange each renewal separately before it expires. If you need help with your FEDANT registration renewal, contact Administration. For insurance renewal or cover questions, contact your insurance provider.
Registration and insurance are renewed separately each year. FEDANT National Registration is renewed through FEDANT, while FEDANT Block Scheme Insurance is renewed directly with the insurance provider.
Important: If your FEDANT National Registration lapses, your FEDANT Block Scheme Insurance will be in breach of the terms of provision. It will become invalid and will not provide cover. Insurance information
