Description
A research-based, up-to-the minute account of the current status of antenatal education, focusing on the key challenges it faces in the
future, offering suggestions for how these challenges might best be met. It describes some innovative approaches to accessing vulnerable
groups of parents and how collaboration between the statutory and voluntary sectors might result in a better educational service for
pregnant women and their families. Narratives from parents are analysed and commented upon, and underpinning the book will be an account
of how the principles and practices of adult education should inform antenatal education.
