The needs of babies and young children are covered by multiple Government departments and represented by Cabinet Ministers from those departments. The Government recognises the importance of these earliest years. In March 2021, the Government published “The Best Start for Life: A Vision for the 1,001 Critical Days”. This document set out a commitment to nominate a Cabinet Minister to ensure Start for Life is kept at the heart of decision-making across Government. The Prime Minister will decide who fulfils this role in due course.
