"Currently there are just 50 parent-infant teams across the UK. It is estimated that there are over 100,000 babies in the UK at risk of disorganised attachment. So teams only reach around 5 per cent of vulnerable families."
Tamora Langley has written for @politicshome about the fact that too many babies are suffering from a lack of early-months bonding.

It’s #InfantMentalHealthAwarenessWeek 💜 In neonatal units, the quietest person - the baby - still has a voice. 👶 When we slow down, tune in, and respond with empathy, we shift from doing to babies to being with them. Are we truly seeing, hearing, understanding them? 💞

The children who need Government's opportunity mission most. Children in England’s most deprived areas are over 2x as far from achieving govt's target of 75% of young children to reach a “good level of development”, compared with most affluent areas. theguardian.com/inequality/2…
