The House of Lords is currently debating amendments to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill.

We supported Lord Russell with his amendment calling for a comprehensive early years strategy, including the rollout of #StartforLife, improved data collection & a national social care workforce plan.

We're delighted that the Govt. has recently announced £126million funding for Family Hubs & #StartforLife. Every interaction in these early relationships is a chance to build a baby's brain. Anytime, anywhere, it all adds up #LittleMomentsTogether nhs.uk/start-for-life/early-learning-development/

Congratulations Newcastle on the new Infant Mental Health Strategy.

A pleasure to come along to your hugely successful event.

Great progress in a year since our North East strategy development event.
