I am writing to thank you for your excellent presentation and contribution to the meeting on the Infant Mental Health and Early Intervention agenda. I have had nothing but really positive feedback and appreciation of the opportunity which you provided for us to consider this important material. We at the Public Health Agency regard this work as a key priority and look forward to further contact with you as we seek to progress this.

Our ultimate aim is to create a wave of action that will end abuse of all children, everywhere, period.

Our immediate goal is to drive and enable a 70% reduction in child abuse and neglect in the UK by the year 2030.

We call this 70/30.
