I am proud to have played a part in the excellent Times campaign which has covered:
- exaggeration of risk in bruised babies
- misdiagnosis of fractures
- babies unnecessarily taken into care
- high use of care orders in Wales
- rapid increase in investigations
- rapid increase in parents falsely accused of harming their children
- administrative delays harming children
- trauma of groundless investigations
- oppressive family court privacy
- the importance of maintaining breastfeeding
The campaign has already been instrumental in changing local authority policies and being the stimulus for a national review of policies on bruising
