Very distressing to watch this news story today- the highest rate of homicide occurs in babies under 1. It’s the same every year… yet services that can protect children from harm face ongoing real term cuts.
Is anyone with the power to make a difference actually listening?

Today @first1001days release a report which I wrote with @GeorginaMayes77 @iHealthVisiting

#CastingLongShadows tells the story of the ongoing impact of the pandemic on babies & services that support them.

Here’s a 🧵 of some of the key findings...

We’re calling on Government to take vital action on child health inequalities and poverty across the UK.

With the number of children living in poverty expected to reach 5m by 2030, its time to #ShiftTheDial on child health: https://t.co/hRylYHrQ0w

Play is more important than ever, we owe it to our children to provide space, time and support for play. It’s national play day, if you do nothing else today, take some time to reflect on how you/we can make Manchester a truly playful city #article31 #2022ouryear #AllToPlayFor

[Children's Commissioner for England @ChildrensComm]

You’d be forgiven for missing other news but the Commissioner is focussed on what is important for children. Getting early mental health support is part of that, and she has 6 ambitions for delivering it. https://t.co/4tWAnEMuxb

Big change starts small @EmmaMcDonough6 @GinnyAwan @Zoe_Ralph @levycyclist @JacquiRousseau great message for #startwell week of action

[The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood @Earlychildhood]

Our #EarlyChildhood shapes our future selves and therefore our future society. So, as we look to tackle the challenges of the 21st century, it’s fair to say… big change starts small.

.... EVERYTHING has changed for our children. The relationship between school and home, between themselves and their screens, between friends and foes ... they're all being recalibrated ...

[The Sir Michael Marmot Institute of Health Equity @marmotihe]

The stress of not making ends meet damages children's development. You can't think about a good diet for the future if you are focusing on how to put food on the table. We've got to deal with the problems that have been created over the last 12 years @michaelmarmot on @BBCNews

[Maura Appleby @maurapps]

Very moving interview.
