We have been awarded the ‘Breastfeeding Welcome Here Award’ from Derbyshire County Council.
The Breastfeeding Welcome Here Award aims to:
- Help community venues show they actively welcome and support breastfeeding
- Support new families to feel confident breastfeeding when out and about
- Improve awareness about the lifelong benefits of breastfeeding for mother and child
- Remove any barriers that may prevent people from breastfeeding in public
Having a breastfeeding friendly venue, families can feel confident to breastfeed in public with the reassurance that staff members are aware of the Equality Act 2010, the law which protects breastfeeding and therefore will support families. We will never ask anybody breastfeeding to move to an unsuitable place or cover up.
We are passionate about supporting patients and the community - an important part of this is making sure that families feel comfortable to feed while out and about, and within our leisure facility
