0:02i passed past that one yeah
0:04yeah yeah so the baby in mind project is
0:07a multi-agency team
0:09working with parents uh and their
0:12families
0:13to try and prevent babies coming into
0:14the the care system
0:16myself and dave identified there was
0:18there was a need for this service
0:20we were acutely aware that bridge end
0:23had very high numbers of babies who were
0:26made subject to
0:27care orders at birth and we felt that
0:29there could be an alternative
0:31so we were looking at that and thinking
0:33how could we target some of our work
0:35and address some of the practice to try
0:37and prevent some of those babies coming
0:39coming into k so we developed a baby
0:41mind service which was
0:42focused on early intervention and
0:44prevention working with parents at that
0:46earliest stage
0:47to try and prevent the baby coming into
0:49the case system
0:51this project is designed to work
0:53intensively with with the family
0:55and with social services with the aim of
0:58keeping the family together
0:59the project does an amazing package of
1:02support tailor-made for
1:03individual families best outcome for the
1:06family is that the baby's returned home
1:09and
1:10that our statistics show that 18 i think
1:12it's 86
1:14of the families that we've worked with
1:15in bridgend have been able to keep their
1:17babies
1:18at home it's that extra gateway
1:21towards keeping your child and it gives
1:24families that chance to prove it because
1:25sometimes just social services on their
1:27own can feel really daunting
1:29it gives parents another fighting chance
1:31to be able to keep their children and
1:32also
1:33they can they can also rely on them for
1:37anything
1:38you know if they need guidance in any
1:40way uh the day
1:42and they will literally put their necks
1:43on the lines for a parent and they will
1:45help you out
