About
Durham County Council awarded a contract to The Children's Foundation Ltd for the developmental programme of midwifery-led baby boxes.
The programme targets vulnerable unborn babies and their families identified by Continuity of Care Midwives, acting as a gateway to bring families into Family Hubs.
The Children's Foundation worked with Baby Box Scotland to develop the MaM box, which is identical to the Scottish box and fully accredited with relevant safety checks and certification, but its contents take a developmental approach based on the principles of love, laugh, talk, read, sing, play, and count.
Each box provides vulnerable families with essentials to support healthy baby development and attachment, and includes a parental education session to increase awareness of bonding through playing, talking, and reading.
The contract value is £57,442.
