Dame Andrea, an adviser to the government on early years policy and whose work on early child health formed the basis of Best start for life: a vision for the 1,001 critical days, will be discussing how measures in the strategy, including family hubs and Start for Life services, are being implemented.

The vision sets out six action areas to improve outcomes for all babies in England, and Dame Andrea will be reflecting on progress to date and outline some of the key priorities ahead.

Also speaking at CYP Now’s Early Help conference: Policy, Practice and Supporting Wellbeing, is Helen Lincoln, executive director for children, families and education at Essex County Council and chair of the Association of Directors of Children’s Services families, communities and young people policy committee.
