So grateful for your advice. (My 10 year old was helping me file all of my literature last night & he got to your papers & said “MORE Braun & Clarke… and again… and again”🤣🤣)

I’d like analyse a subset of the data to build on the new theoretical ideas I’ve developed. Heard one study isn’t sufficient for a PhD in psychology but the amount of analytical work & theoretical depth feels like an entire doctorate in comparison to a traditional quants study.

Thank you so much- that’s clarified so many of my concerns. The two papers I’ve written have used different sections of the data & have generated new theoretical concepts & extended theory rather than describing. Had the RTA bingo card with me at all times, ha!

The BBC article doesn’t mention our campaign’s formal complaint with a 40 page annotated transcript of the meeting but I’m sure they’ll revisit with further details…

Harmed families in Leeds & Sussex have had maternity reviews agreed. We know that’s a cheaper option than a public inquiry @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social but, tragically, the level of harm in Oxford & the retaliation we’ve faced over the last 22 months more than warrants a PI.
You have to act.

JHOSC has now offered us a “facilitation exercise” with OUH, referring to “dispute resolution”.
What has happened to 760+ families is not a dispute to be mediated!
It’s documented, preventable harm compounded by a cover-up culture. JHOSC clearly don’t want accountability.

JHOSC held a private meeting with OUH on 22nd December 2025 about the media investigation by @channel4news.bsky.social & @newstatesman1913.bsky.social which apparently was to ‘reassure’…
We have asked repeatedly for an account of what was discussed. JHOSC told us no minutes exist.

…the errors within their complaint responses to us that they had to apologise for (apparently they were because we wanted answers quickly 🙄); their shut down of the complaints process; the staged ‘listening event’ that caused so much harm to me that I had to formally complain.

OUH told the committee it had made “numerous attempts” to engage with our campaign.
What they didn’t mention: the bait-&-switch meeting strategy they used; the ‘engagement strategy’ that was just reputation management & designed with someone who harmed us directly…

At that session, an OUH senior leader described OUH’s stillbirth outlier status & LAUGHED.
The stats arguments used to explain away the stillbirth rates were already accounted for in MBRRACE’s methodology yet JHOSC accepted it without question…

The January JHOSC session was convened in direct response to a national media investigation our campaign initiated. We weren’t told it was happening & weren’t invited to attend.
22 months of active campaigning by Families Failed by OUH Maternity Services & JHOSC has never once contacted us.

The King's Speech is next month but there's still time to prod and push the gov to include an Anti-SLAPP commitment - that will mean parliamentary time will be given to this issue that already benefits from cross-party support. Here is a letter you can send to your MP - antislapp.uk/solutions/ta...
