As I write this update, I’m sat in the canteen at the House of Commons with a noisy group of school children rustling about next to me. It will be a week where I won’t spend too much time away from the building.
I’m here today because I’ve been at the joint All Party Parliamentary Group meeting of the ‘Conception to Age 2: First 1,001 Critical Days’ and ’Children’s’ groups. It was a stellar cast of speakers at the event including Dr Paul Williams MP, Norman Lamb MP, Tim Loughton MP, England’s children’s commissioner Anne Longfield, and leader of the House of Commons Andrea Leadsom MP. There’s so much ‘buzz’ about early support and its importance.
