Kate met the mothers and fathers when she visited the mental health charity Anna Freud to learn about the project.

The future Queen’s Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood has launched the programme with Anna Freud, a leading research and development organisation specialising in children and young people’s mental health based in central London.

The new curriculum is being created for health visitors and is expected to be launched next year to help their work supporting the social and emotional development of children.
