\n The ‘Pledge for Babies in Wales’ was introduced by Swansea University and Children in Wales at the Children’s Rights in Early Years Network conference.\n<\/p>\n
\n It urges anyone involved in the lives of babies to consider their distinct needs in every relevant decision.\n<\/p>\n
\n The pledge was developed to highlight the perspective of the baby, aiming to ensure their voices are recognised and valued.\n<\/p>\n
\n Led by Dr Jacky Tyrie from Swansea University’s School of Social Science and Anna Westall from Children in Wales, the initiative was funded by Swansea University’s IAA Fund and Children in Wales.\n<\/p>\n
\n The pledge was co-produced by the CREY Network, with input from professionals, parents, caregivers, and babies.\n<\/p>\n
\n An expert steering group oversaw the consultation and development process.\n<\/p>\n
\n The pledge encourages adults to listen to babies in daily interactions, care settings, and when making broader service and policy decisions.\n<\/p>\n
\n It also recognises the role of communities in supporting families and emphasises the importance of supporting adults to meet babies’ needs.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Welsh minister for children and care, Dawn Bowden, attended the conference to highlight the significance of young children’s rights and the network’s work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The ‘Pledge for Babies in Wales’ was introduced by Swansea University and Children in Wales at the Children’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":211878,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5010],"tags":[748,4884,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-211877","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wales","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-great-britain","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114741436936563023","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211877","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211877"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211877\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211878"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211877"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211877"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
