The main job of a midwife is to assist a woman before, during and after birth to ensure the baby is as healthy as possible.
They need to identify women who are at high risk of having problems due to social, demographic, ethnic and/or health factors before, during and after birth.
The midwives failed on this by ignoring the fact the parents were refugees and had limited English speaking skills. This risk factor was actually easy for the midwives to deal with and make plans for dealing with as it was there when the mother presented for antenatal care.

Added to that if you talk to women who have given birth over the decades - which you probably haven't done as a man - you will find that the level/amount of care the NHS provides through midwives, health visitors and GPs has decreased over the decades.
Now if it is your first birth and if you are in a poorer area - like the area this child was born in - they will chuck you out of the maternity unit much quicker than if you live in a richer area.
