Health professionals are often the first to be aware that families are experiencing difficulties in looking after babies or infants.
Developed by the NSPCC for educators in the health services, this reader is about protecting babies under 18 months.
Fragile: handle with care is primarily targeted at health care professionals within a primary or secondary health care setting, but is also suitable for inter-agency training and with staff in any other agency likely to come into contact with parents or carers who are preparing for the birth of a baby or are caring for a baby.
