Evidence from families
The online call for evidence is open to women and families. We encourage families to complete the surveys if they are able to. The call for evidence is open from Tuesday 20th January to Tuesday 17th March 2026.
If they wish to, families can also submit further evidence to the investigation to our mailbox matneoinvestigation@dhsc.gov.uk.
Please note that reviews of individual cases are not within the scope of the Investigation. This is because the investigation has been commissioned to look at systemic issues and make one set of national recommendations, and the required timescale does not allow for clinical reviews of individual cases.
Evidence from staff
There will be a separate call for evidence for staff working in NHS maternity and neonatal services. This will be distributed through NHS Trusts. This will be open from Monday 26th January to Monday 9th March 2026.
Those who no longer work in the maternity or neonatal pathway or in an NHS Trust can contact matneoinvestigation@dhsc.gov.uk if they wish to find out about how to submit evidence.
Evidence from organisations
Organisations and other individuals (e.g. researchers) wishing to submit evidence to the investigation can submit this directly to our mailbox: matneoinvestigation@dhsc.gov.uk
When submitting evidence please put in the subject line ‘evidence submission’. Please also set out how your evidence submission aligns to the published terms of reference and to the published methodology
The deadline for all evidence submissions to the mailbox is 17:00 on Tuesday 17th March 2026
