Early Years Network
The Early Years Network is intended to be of interest and use to all those with a professional interest in the early years (pre-birth to five years), and in giving children a good start in life.
The network involves policy-makers, practitioners and those working in research. One of its main functions is to disseminate learning from the National Health Demonstration Project Starting Well.
