The Journey of a Better Start Baby

In this episode, Zak and Kerry explore the journey of a Better Start Bradford baby and how the programme’s ecosystem of stacked interventions supports families in the earliest years. With insights from Gill Thornton, Director of Better Start Bradford, Josie Dickerson, Director of the Better Start Bradford Innovation Hub, and Professor Sharon Goldfeld, Centre of Community Child Health and the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, Melbourne, Australia, they unpack how coordinated, layered support can strengthen outcomes, what local data reveals about families’ real experiences, and how this learning can shape future policy and commissioning.

Together, they highlight the power of whole-system approaches in improving early childhood development and community wellbeing.
