Did you know that the 1001 days of a baby’s life helps to shape their future? I’m Andrea Leadsom, and ensuring that every baby gets the best start for life has been my passion for over 20 years.

I’ve held many Government positions, and most recently, I have been chairing the Early Years Healthy Development Review on behalf of the Prime Minister. Its report launched earlier this year, and we are now in the implementation phase, putting into practice 6 action areas that will help improve early years support and services for parents and babies.

This 1001 Critical Days podcast will feature those who have been part of this journey. From parents to politicians, practitioners to academics, in each episode we will be exploring every aspect of the early years and discussing how we can ensure that every baby gets the best start for life.

If you’d like to get involved, perhaps in a future episode or to share your thoughts please reach out on email Andrea.leadsom.mp@parliament.uk
