It’s smiles all round at the Teddy Bear’s Picnic hosted by our Baby & Me service in Newport. Last week, parents and babies past and present who had been supported by the service were joined by Julie Morgan, Minister for Social Services, and Jayne Bryant, Newport West MS and Chair of the Children, Young People and Education Committee for a celebration of the success of the project! It creates a safe space for parents to address challenges in their family life and it’s been a huge success, demonstrated by the fact that Newport have had a 48% reduction in care proceedings issued at birth since Baby and Me started, equating to 20 less babies coming into care in Newport compared to the 2 years prior to the service’s inception. Love the idea behind the project? Let us know in the comments! 💬
