Baby Week Leeds was launched in September 2016, and is an early year’s initiative helping to bring and celebrate services from across the sector together and is an adaptation of Semana do Bebe (UNICEF 2010). Its aim is raising awareness of the baby’s important growth and development mentally and physically in order to give the best start.

The webinar will offer background and context to Baby Week from Leeds- the first City in the UK to adopt Baby Week; along with presenters from Torbay and Bradford who will be sharing their work locally to provide insight into how these areas are progressing the development of Baby Week.

Speakers:

• Sadiya Salim- Operational Director, Baby Week & Partnership Development Officer at Child Friendly Leeds
• Helen Halim- Project Manager, Torbay Family Hub
• Chloe Stevenson- Maternal and Child Development Lead, Better Start Bradford.

There will be an opportunity for questions and answers at this webinar.
