    You did it! We’re so happy to announce that @NHSEngland has announced funding for postnatal check-ups for new mothers. This is a big step forward in getting mothers the mental health support they may need, and we’re so proud of everyone who has helped the campaign 💚 #HiddenHalf

    Good to hear that an initial early-years trial backed by @earlychildhood can help health visitors in their work supporting parent-child relationships. HVs found it 'beneficial' to their practice, so news a second stage will follow is welcome.

    Last year, @Earlychildhood funded a trial of an observational tool which helps health visitors to interpret baby behaviour and support parent-child interactions. Today, we're delighted to share the evaluation results, which are overwhelmingly positive. centreforearlychildhood.org/latest-learnin…
    Health Visitor Rachel Rammage is holding up a toy for a baby to interact with. The baby is sat on its mother's lap.
