SUMMARY:Maternal well-being\, infant feeding and return to paid work - Report Launch
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We are delighted to invite you to a special online event launching the findings of the Maternal Wellbeing\, Infant Feeding and Return to Paid Work study funded by the Nuffield Foundation. This one-hour webinar will share key insights from the study\, introduce our toolkits for parents and employers\, and offer a space for interactive discussion about how workplaces can better support mothers returning to paid work while breastfeeding. \nRegister for the Event Here \nMeet the team: \nProfessor Sarah Jewell\, Dr Fari Aftab \, Professor Marina Della Giusta\, Professor Grace James\,  Professor Sylvia Jaworska. and Dr Sam Rawlings \nAbout the Research \nThis UK study investigated the wellbeing\, opportunities and experiences of mothers who wish to continue to breastfeed on return to paid work. Previous evidence found not meeting infant feeding goals (feeding in the way the mother wants to\, for as long as they/their child wishes to) can have a detrimental impact on wellbeing for both mother and child. Further\, it explored how employers can be better equipped to support their breastfeeding workers\, and how workplace policy\, and practice can evolve to support them. \nDrawing on the lived experiences of mothers\, HR professionals and line managers in the UK\, the study provides practical\, evidence-based recommendations for policy makers and for workplace policy / practice. \nWe will discuss some of our headline findings and policy implications and invite attendees to join a wider dialogue on promoting maternal wellbeing and inclusive workplaces. \nWe will be releasing the study’s final report prior to the online event. \nIf you have any questions about the event\, please contact:\nProfessor Sarah Jewell – s.l.jewell@reading.ac.uk \nThe Nuffield Foundation is an independent charitable trust with a mission to advance social wellbeing. It funds research that informs social policy\, primarily in Education\, Welfare\, and Justice. The Nuffield Foundation is the founder and co-funder of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics\, the Ada Lovelace Institute and the Nuffield Family Justice Observatory. The Foundation has funded this project\, but the views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily the Foundation. \nBluesky: @nuffieldfoundation.org \nLinkedIn: Nuffield Foundation \nWebsite: nuffieldfoundation.org[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
