This section of the King’s Fund toolkit for improving safety in maternity services focuses on the role of teamworking. It includes short case studies of team training and development, and covers a set of tools that can be used to improve teamworking in maternity services.

These include questionnaires and tools to assess Interprofessional team roles, personality types and safety culture. Tips are provided on using each of these tools along with where to find further information to support implementation.
