To raise awareness of what more can be done by the government, Parliament and other agencies to improve care for families after baby loss and to improve safety in maternity services and reduce the risks.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
