Our Policy team have had a busy April, responding to the @ofstednews.bsky.social consultation and the @commonshealth.bsky.social inquiry into the first 1000 days of a child's life. Everything we do and call for is based on the evidence about what makes a real difference to children and families.

It's encouraging to hear the Health Secretary acknowledge the need to improve children's health services. We are grateful to @vikkislademp.bsky.social for raising whether the 18-week medical treatment target will apply to community referrals and if a target will be set to protect children.
