National Neonatal Audit Programme (NNAP) - information for parents and carers

The NNAP looks at the care babies receive if they are born early or unwell and need to be admitted to a neonatal unit. Watch our animated video to understand how the audit works, what data we collects and what resources we provide. And see links to sources of support.

Especially for parents and carers

  • Your baby's care - this is your guide to our annual summary report
  • Unit posters - these highlight how each unit is performing against a selection of audit measures and what they are doing in response to the results. Please email us at nnap@rcpch.ac.uk for a copy for your units poster. 
  • Privacy notices for England and Wales, Scotland and Isle of Man - these outline how the audit collects and uses data on babies and what you can do if you want to opt out
