Guilty until proven innocent? - The Assumption of Care of a baby at birth.

CONCLUSIONS: Further research is required to understand the impact of current Assumption of Care. Broader research to not only look at effect on the midwife but also on other health professionals involved and the women who personally experience the removal of their baby at the time of birth. Consideration must also be given to ways of working with vulnerable families to enhance the acceptability and efficacy of maternity services and with associated agencies will decrease the need for Assumption of Care at birth.
