It's harrowing that so many babies are affected by domestic abuse. We must remember they are victims too and need tailored support. That’s why all child safeguarding professionals must fully understand domestic abuse so they can provide the right help every single time.

JUST RELEASED: New findings have revealed the alarming number of babies referred to children’s social care in England with domestic abuse as a factor; nearly 50,000 each year, based on a 3-year average. Freedom of Information (FOI) requests indicated that almost 2,000 babies (aged 0 – 2) have entered care in England every year, for the past three years, with domestic abuse as a significant factor. Our ground-breaking research highlights the urgent need for targeted interventions to break cycles of domestic abuse, to protect babies from harm and and reduce the financial burden on public services. In light of this data, we’re calling for urgent reforms to protect babies and children from harm. Learn more here: bit.ly/41HBkTf #SocialCare #EarlyIntervention #Prevention #EarlyYears #Research

Well worth a 👂 for a low down on @CMAgovUK #formula market study. Strongly support the view that price promotions on formula milks are NOT appropriate + action to enable families who use formula to do so safely needs to take place alongside actions to enable #breastfeeding 🤱🏼

There’s a common misconception that bath seats are safety devices. This is not true. Babies have drowned in bath seats when parents mistakenly believed it was safe to step out of the room for a moment. Learn more: capt.org.uk/safe-baby-bath… #ChildSafety

Radical change in public services is urgently needed. We need to shift from ‘doing to’ people & communities & towards ‘doing with’. So, we’re excited to be part of a new movement calling for this change. Read about #DoWith & sign up to our event in March. kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-an…
