Nearly 1 in 4 employers still don’t provide the adjustments disabled staff need. Our new guidance offers 15 practical steps to change that. Let’s build inclusive, thriving workplaces. 👉 rcpsych.ac.uk/improving-care…

The video from our latest lunchtime webinar is now online. It looked at the recommendations made in the Manifesto for Babies and the progress being made against them. youtube.com/watch?v=Y60eXF…

"Currently there are just 50 parent-infant teams across the UK. It is estimated that there are over 100,000 babies in the UK at risk of disorganised attachment. So teams only reach around 5 per cent of vulnerable families." Tamora Langley has written for @politicshome about the fact that too many babies are suffering from a lack of early-months bonding.

We're delighted to be working with @EarlyChildhood as an early adopter of their new series of animated films to support the social and emotional development of babies & young children. Together, we can promote nurturing relationships & give every child the best start in life. Watch + share: youtube.com/playlist?list=…

@RMatthewsPsych @ParentInfantFdn @first1001days For balance, this is what the @first1001days youtube.com/watch?v=Y60eXF… has achieved for babies and families. I'm the @ParentInfantFdn rep on the RCOG maternity safety working group, pregnancy and babies charities network (which I co-founded) & we're supporting @BirthTrauma's work.

Yet when I met with @ParentInfantFdn CEO Keith last year & asked why they hadn’t covered the Birth Trauma Inquiry, he said they didn’t have capacity 🤷‍♀️. #BirthTrauma is central to the @first1001days. Babies are dying & being harmed but, hey, it’s not in our remit. #BabyBlindspot

@barnardos @wesstreeting @JanetDaby Really powerful stories and such great work done by the whole @barnardos team. Thanks for flying the flag for investment in babies, children and families.

"It's given me a space to talk" – Elliot, 16, young carer.💬 Last night we heard powerful stories of how our family hubs change lives. As funding declines, we need the government to develop a family hub in every community. Read more: barnardos.org.uk/research/build… #AmbitiousForChildren

In response to today's #SpendingReview, @CampaignsKeith has welcomed commitment to expanding the Family Hubs programme, but is disappointed by the lack of clarity around funding for #StartForLife services, particularly during #IMHAW2025 Full statement 👉bit.ly/4kCwYDN

It’s #InfantMentalHealthAwarenessWeek 💜 In neonatal units, the quietest person - the baby - still has a voice. 👶 When we slow down, tune in, and respond with empathy, we shift from doing to babies to being with them. Are we truly seeing, hearing, understanding them? 💞

The children who need Government's opportunity mission most. Children in England’s most deprived areas are over 2x as far from achieving govt's target of 75% of young children to reach a “good level of development”, compared with most affluent areas. theguardian.com/inequality/202…

iHV supports #IMHAW2025. We are excited to be leading a second phase of research, funded by @Earlychildhood around #HealthVisitors use of the Alarm Distress Baby Scale (ADBB) to better observe and interpret the ways that babies communicate buff.ly/cO22SiI #HealthVisiting

We’re one of 70+ orgs united in standing with the Prime Minister’s commitment to the early years. Together, we’re urging @Keir_Starmer to support children & families from conception to reception by making this ambition a reality at the #SpendingReview2025. buff.ly/RVogQQq
