Summary
The maternity disadvantage assessment tool (MatDAT) is a standardised tool for assessing social complexity during maternity care based on women and birthing people’s broad social needs. Developed by the Royal College of Midwives (RCM), it provides a guide for midwives to identify the woman’s care level (Level 1–4) and develop a personalised care and support plan (PCSP), as well as facilitating smooth communication with the multidisciplinary team. The tool and the MatDAT Planning Guide also support maternity services to plan and allocate resources to level of care pathways.
