Early child development transformational change programme
Improving early child development by bringing together a programme to provide oversight and better integration of policies. These will focus on prevention, the importance of pre-birth and early years across all policy areas and identify policy and implementation gaps, informed by current evidence.
What is new
We have been aware of the importance of the early years and prevention for many years, and we need to build on the good work that is going on around Scotland. The evidence base continues to grow, and our understanding of implications of healthy child development for the long-term impacts on the brain and the body are increasing. This makes it vital that we develop knowledge and adapt policy and practice across Scotland to ensure we are bringing together policy initiatives around the individual, aligning and streamlining governance and practice and delivering the best outcomes to achieve healthy child development by working with delivery partners, communities and families.
