CAPEA welcomes the ongoing implementation of making comprehensive evidence based antenatal education for all as per the recommendation 14. 

We welcome increased funding for CMC Parenting Education positions to support, train and resource educators in the future to make this possible, and the provision of updated centralised resources by the ACI for educators to use.

Of particular note are the following recommendations:

Want to teach?
