21 Mar 2025
The First 1000 Days: a renewed focus Health and Social Care Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The first 1000 days of life, from conception to age two, are widely recognised as a critical period for child development, shaping long-term health, well-being, and life outcomes.The previous Committee examined this period in its 2019 First 1000 days of life inquiryconsidering national strategy, current spending and barriers to investment and local provision. Since then, there have been a number of significant policy developments in this area.The most notable being the shift to integrated care services (ICSs) under the previous Government in 2022.The current Government has allocated £126 million for early years support and the expansion of Family Hubs under its mission to “break down the barriers to opportunities”.The Committee’s inquiry will examine progress made since 2019, the effectiveness of family hubs and integrated care systems in improving early childhood outcomesand how inequalities in access can be most improved. |
