In fact, she’s already put together a team of experts that will support her in promoting the fundamental importance of the first five years of a child’s life. Kate Middleton argues that it’s at this time that children start to understand and develop a sense of themselves and of others. So, this makes these early years crucial in forming a person, and if care is taken, it can help to raise children with fewer mental health issues.

Who Are The Experts Working With The Princess Of Wales On Her Early Years Campaign

On Tuesday, Jan. 24, the royal mom of three met with eight experts at Windsor Castle to discuss the next phase of her Early Childhood Foundation, which has become a cornerstone of her royal work.

These experts form the framework of her advisory group. They include Professor Peter Fonagy OBE – Head of the Division of Psychology and Language Sciences at UCL and Chief Executive of the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, Eamon McCrory – Professor of Developmental Neuroscience and Psychopathology, University College London, and Dr Alain Gregoire – Consultant Perinatal Psychiatrist and President and Founder of the Maternal Mental Health Alliance.

There’s also the registrar at the Royal College of Psychiatrists Dr. Trudi Seneviratne, cofounder of Reach Academy Feltham Ed Vainker OBE, Director of Policy and Campaigns for Action for Children Imran Hussain, and Associate Director at Nuffield Family Justice Observatory and Trustee at What Works in Children’s Social Care, Beverley Barnett-Jones MBE.

Dr. Trudi Seneviratne Speaks On The Importance Of Kate Middleton’s Early Childhood Foundation

The Princess of Wales’ Early Years campaign is a product of research which shows that the first five years of a child’s life fundamentally shape them and when done right could lead to better decision making that can prevent addiction, homelessness, family breakdown and other social issues.

Advisory panel member Dr. Trudi Seneviratne believes that “our experience in the earliest years lays the foundations for the rest of our lives.”

She added that “fragmented policy making” should not interfer with the campaign, as it’s “really quite crucial” that people understand the importance of the foundation.

“That will help with service development. It will help with research. It will help with education. It will help with the workforce who look after young children and everyone, really.”

Dr. Seneviratne went on: ‘We need all of government to buy into this as a really ambitious long-term programme that actually continues regardless of changes of government – that’s really, really important.”
