What if the most powerful motivator for change wasn't a warning, a sanction, or even a conversation - but a baby?

A recent podcast demonstrates how our NBO tool and the VIG tool are used in early relationships with infants.

Curious to explore these topics further? Our upcoming Inform & Inspire webinar will do just that - as we explore how both tools are used practically.

Register here for our webinar happening on 17 September: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/keeping-the-baby-in-focus-bringing-together-nbo-and-vig-in-practice-tickets-1996107856332?aff=oddtdtcreator&_gl=1*1lfeamf*_up*MQ..*_ga*MzkxOTc2NjY0LjE3ODU3NDkwOTI.*_ga_TQVES5V6SH*czE3ODU3NDkwOTEkbzEkZzAkdDE3ODU3NDkwOTEkajYwJGwwJGgw&keep_tld=true

🎙️Listen in to the podcast "Reflective Practice – The Criminal Justice Chronicles" where both NBO and VIG tools are explored. Judith Rees, Director of Operations at The For Baby's Sake Trust, talks about how the charity uses the Newborn Behavioural Observation (NBO) to help parents break cycles of domestic abuse and give their babies the best possible start in life. 🎧 Listen to the full conversation where you usually get your podcast content.

At For Baby's Sake and at Brazelton Centre UK everything is done with the baby at the centre.

Here's how the NBO fits into that:
👶 It gives the baby a "voice."
🔄 It makes the baby the motivator for change.
🧠 It helps practitioners understand parents too.

This week Inge Nickell met with Claire Mahon and Sarah Clarke for an update on how the Newborn Behavioural Observation ( ) is used and implemented by health visitors across

Claire and Sarah have been instrumental in achieving one of the highest certification rates in the country, and they should be incredibly proud of their implementation plan; and of the families now benefiting from having an NBO-certified health visitor supporting them.

Their work puts the earliest relationship front and centre, helping parents understand their baby's unique developmental capacities right from the start 👶

We're so proud to have Claire and Sarah as our Brazelton Champions. Their knowledge and passion for this field is truly admirable, and it was a pleasure hearing how we at the Brazelton Centre can better support our champions - and what more we can all do to improve outcomes for the next generation.

"Approaches like the Brazelton NBAS and NBO help us slow down and observe our little ones. And when we slow down and observe we can simply describe what they are communicating, ‘noticing out loud’ their cues and behaviours. In this way we might more easily think about their own internal state, and attempt our best guess at an attuned response to the behaviours and cues we can see, rather than to our own worries or assumptions."
