All children have the right to grow up with the best health possible, to be safe from harm, to have access to an education that enables them to fulfil their potential and of course, have fun! Throughout the last eight years, hundreds of citywide events have been held with thousands of attendees including parents, expectant parents, practitioners and professionals, and of course babies! Each city / region hosting the week has the opportunity to celebrate and bring together the work of maternity and early years services, helping to raise awareness of the critical developmental growth stages and a real focus on the 1001 days in order to give every baby the best start in life.
