By joining up and enhancing existing services, we want to ensure all children, young people and their parents and carers can access the early support they need when they need it. The first 1,001 days from conception up to the age of two are a critical time in the development of a baby and child's life. The Start for Life offer in Norfolk provides support to parents and carers during this period with a vision that “All babies, children and families are supported and empowered to have a healthy, happy and safe start for life, ensuring they Flourish before birth and beyond.”
