This report follows an earlier report titled ‘The impact of Covid-19 on maternity and parental leave’, published in July 2020, which found that new parents had missed out on crucial support they could usually expect to receive during this vital time for them and their children. This report presents updated findings on how Covid-19 has continued to affect new parents and further recommendations for how the Government can better support this group. These include calling on the Government to: provide additional funding and resources to allow catch-up mental health support for new parents impacted by Covid-19 and accelerate planned capacity-building in perinatal mental health services; fund local authorities to arrange in-person visits to new parents by appropriate local authority, voluntary financial security to the sector following the pandemic and ensure childcare provision meets the needs of new parents seeking to return to work. After 18 months of restrictions, the Committee heard new parents are now facing an accumulation of adversity. Our witnesses identified a clear need for the Government to focus not only on restoring services such as health visiting and maternal mental health services to their pre-pandemic levels, but also ensuring urgent catch-up support is available for parents who have missed out on support over this time.
