The question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the recommendation in its Peer Support in Perinatal Mental Health action plan, what it has done to ensure that all peer support services for perinatal mental health have their own policy around safeguarding peer support workers, volunteers and service users.
The answer
The Scottish Government worked with Scottish Recovery Network to develop a Perinatal Peer Support Resource which launched on 20 April 2023 and can be found at the following link
- Let's do Peer Support: Bump, Birth & Beyond
- Scottish Recovery Network . The resource includes guidance on how to keep peer support workers, volunteers and service users safe. It also contains links to good practice and specialised training from more established organisations should peer support workers or volunteers feel they need further information and guidance.
