1001 Critical Days manifesto relaunched in Parliament

Members of Parliament from across eight different parties have put their continued support behind policy that shows that the first 1001 days of a child’s life from conception to age 2 are vital to achieving better perinatal mental health and stronger attachment between babies and their parents.
