NHS antenatal and postnatal classes to help them prepare for the impact having a baby
will have on their relationship. Evidence shows that the transition to parenthood
is one of the biggest risk factors leading to separation if the couple is unaware
and unprepared for the changes they will experience.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst father participation
in the pilots will be actively encouraged the education sessions are aimed at both
parents. We will appoint an organisation to train NHS staff to deliver the sessions
and we plan to advertise the tender opportunity shortly. We will conduct a comprehensive
evaluation of the pilot and the results will inform discussions on whether the approach
should be expanded.</p>
