For NHS maternity & neonatal services

Safe SpacesMaternity & Neonatal Improvement Licence

The national programme participant price — your own Safe Space, for your own organisation, for your own improvement work.

This is a commercial offer from Clever Together. It is entirely separate from the national Your Voice programme.

Separate from the national programme

Your local licence is entirely separate from participation in the national programme.

There is no requirement to purchase anything from Clever Together as a consequence of participating in the national work, and purchasing a licence has no bearing whatsoever on the national programme or its findings. Read about the national conversation →

The proposition

Your own licence to use Safe Spaces in your maternity & neonatal services.

A tangible proposition, not a “contact us for more information”. Here is exactly what you get, what it costs and how long the offer stands.

Local Safe Spaces let you keep involving colleagues and families in understanding problems, designing improvements, testing emerging proposals and learning whether change is actually working — long after October.

How organisations use Safe Spaces

Four ways to keep listening, learning and improving.

Exploration

Understand an issue deeply before deciding how to solve it.

Co-design

Develop improvements with the people who deliver and experience services.

Check, challenge and enhance

Test emerging proposals with colleagues and families while there is still time to improve them.

Continuous improvement

Create an ongoing infrastructure through which people can contribute ideas, experience and learning as services change.

The network effect

Let’s start a new Maternity & Neonatal Improvement Community.

Every participating licence organisation will join a learning community. Local Safe Spaces remain local and confidential, yet participating organisations can voluntarily share methods, questions, interventions and anonymised learning.

This turns network effects out of your individual licence:

  • You’re already part of a national movement.
  • Together, with your colleagues, you can build local infrastructure and capability.
  • Together, with other licence holders, we can generate shared learning and a stronger national movement.

Who this is for

Built for the people accountable for maternity and neonatal improvement.

  • Chief Nurses
  • Chief Midwifery Officers / Directors of Midwifery
  • Heads of Midwifery
  • Maternity and Neonatal Leadership Teams
  • Improvement Leaders

Next step

Book a call with one of Clever Together’s founders.

Twenty minutes to talk about local improvement: what you want to understand, who you need in the conversation, and whether a Safe Space is the right way to do it. No obligation, and no bearing on the national programme.
