By helping us focus on leadership, the Achieving Sustainability standards enabled us to get a commitment to Baby Friendly where we hadn’t before – not just from the health visiting service but also across the children’s centre and maternity services, and the local council. It’s been really valuable to have an engaged leadership team to give strategic support to implementing the Baby Friendly standards.
