In prisons

Our prison-based support is arranged directly through each of the prisons we work in. No referrals are needed.
If you have any questions about support in prison for yourself or a family member, please get in touch at info@birthcompanions.org.uk.
In the community
Heading 1
If you, or a woman you are working with would like support from Birth Companions in the community during pregnancy, birth or early motherhood, please complete a referral form below.
The support we can offer might be limited by capacity, or by the location of the woman being referred.
We are only able to support women living in London (and, where women are being supported by an Advance Keyworker while under probation supervision, parts of the South East of England).
It can take 2-3 weeks to review a referral and start the process of offering support.
While we always do our best to offer support, we are rarely able to take on very urgent referrals.
We are much more likely to be able to help with referrals made earlier in a woman’s pregnancy.
We work as collaboratively as possible with referrers.
Further detailed referral information is included on the referral form.
