An important report from @RCSLTNI . Speech and language development in the early years is everyone's business. Get the investment right and we set children on a path to better life outcomes. Well done @RuthSedgewick @SueMcB4 👏👏👏

Another great advocate for the early years @GordonBrown ! The best money ever spent by any govt will be in the early years! Its a bargain investment at any price when you consider what is at stake is our children
The first 48 weeks are more important than the next 48 years for development. We urgently need to fund early childhood development. #actforearlyyears @theirworld @unicef @unesco @SesameWorkshop @ECDAction

Self-care is more than bubble baths and face masks. Self-care is acts that contribute to looking after your physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing such as prioritising rest, setting boundaries, and spending time with loved ones. #AWARENI #SelfCareSunday

"We call autism a spectrum for a reason — it’s incredibly diverse — so it makes sense to provide families w/ a better array of evidence-based care options, like developmental interventions." @jdfeder had more to say in this insightful Q&A w/ @ContempPEDS. bit.ly/3SvwrGS

MMR Vaccine is the safest way to help protect your child against measles, mumps & rubella. If you think your child has missed a vaccine your GP will be running a catch up for children 12 months to 5 Years. @Cherish_sures

This is an historic day. It is about the future. It is about working together to deliver for workers and families, and creating new and exciting opportunities that ensure our children and grandchildren can achieve their dreams and ambitions in life. As a First Minister for All, I am determined to lead positive change for everyone, and to work together with others to progress our society in a spirit of respect, cooperation, and equality.
