Hi Tiffany,

Have you tried the RCm website or MIDIRS, they should have stuff on that. Also try the new toobar and search all midwifery sites as the option.

hope these help? 'scuse the rubbish half hearted attempt at harvard referencing, not very good is it?!
You could also try looking at the DoH National Service Framwork?
A lot of the refs cover woman-centred care as well, which could be a starting point for providing continuity of care?
hope it goes ok
