It was a real pleasure to work on this amendment and to have drafted the briefing that Baroness Glenys Thornton thanked the Parent-Infant Foundation for.
I was pleased with Minister Jacqui Smith's response and am looking forward to the best start in life strategy being published later this year.
We have made a submission to the Government's spending review calling for investment in:
1⃣ Start for Life
2⃣ Breastfeeding
3⃣ Tackling child poverty
4⃣ Health Visitors

Sharon Hodgson MP really understands this work. It was great to be able to showcase Little Minds in Mind as an excellent example of parent-infant relationship support and to talk through our ambitions for the Start for Life programme.
@pippaheylings.bsky.social asked whether Start for Life services could be extended to every area of England, including to her South Cambridgeshire constituency.
The government confirmed that it holds the ambition to ensure that start for life services reach every child.
The #APPGonBabies has been launched.
We have the amazing @mayaellismp.bsky.social as Chair and a great officer team with @elsieblundellmp.bsky.social, Patrick Spencer and @freddievanmierlomp.bsky.social
I look forward to continuing to work with them & providing their secretariat support.
