Baby brain: Neuroscience, policy-making and child protection

Ariane Critchley - Scottish Affairs

This paper draws upon findings from a study which followed families through the process of pre-birth child protection assessment.

The paper argues for a broader interpretation of ACEs focused on community and public health across the life course.
