The UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) and University of Cambridge’s Centre for Research on Play in Education, Development and Learning (PEDAL), have launched, ‘Understanding and supporting mental health in infancy and early childhood – a toolkit to support local action in the UK’.
The aim of the resource is to support service leaders, commissioners and policy teams to develop a whole-system approach to support the mental health of babies and young children and to enable them to develop the capabilities to be mentally healthy throughout their lives.
