For years, we know so much more about the importance of early years. Young people are able to flourish and grow and it's his commitment and advocacy on this issue and many years, listening to expert, practitioners, and parents and make a long, long term commitment to this work has been really inspirational. Welcome, as a teacher. Chair for such a distinguished career in the White House. In 2012, inspired by educational models in the States, I set up the school Richard Branson, which has grown for support for young people, and I'd like to introduce our panel so we have Professor Adrian McCrory and professor of developmental neuroscience and psychology, and we have Dr truly Sen apne, the Royal College of Psychiatrists, and Perinatal psychiatrist at the most reaction. We have to have programs that teach and then and then join us correct yes and distinguished guests from the United States, Marian Calderon, who's the Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Department of Education, Miranda Smith is the policy at the department for Health and Human Services and Katie Hahn, the deputy assistant secretary earliest developments at the Department of Health and Human Services. So, before we get to my guess, I want to hand over to your lines to say thank you. I hope you'll enjoy.

I want to say thank you to everybody for this program today. Thank you to the academy. I met some wonderful teachers and principals and most of all the children who were so inspiring is so well behaved. I couldn't get over it. And I want to thank the press for covering this because early childhood education is so important to, to lay the foundation for all of our students so thank you for having me everybody very special place I can see that

as we sit in this lovely school as a career educator myself, I see the challenges, very often and not stops but I also see the impact in my own community and providing a holistic support right to professionals. And I do think that speaks to your inquiries that she shows for communities and for families providing space, integrating services and scientific support is available. Amen. I want to continue Could you could you tell us a little more about the first five years ago. What we know is happening in children. Sure.

And so I've been saying that in the last 20 years we've learned a huge amount about the importance of areas of life, and I probably highlight two key areas, one are funding from both the students and the second track children right from birth, and those studies are reaching individuals when they're babies and adults. And they show really robust associations between early development and long term lifetime so physical and mental health outcomes as well as education, and that romantic theory experiences such as maltreatment or brand mental health problems can really be reimbursed to Jack recent life. So development doesn't stop at five, but there's no doubt that those early experiences relationships environments influence our adult selves in a defined way, and the secondary if I could just be my own area of research is on developmental neuroscience, I know this is really of interest and your visitors to UCL focuses on understanding that in Haiku we understand the link between early experience and long term outcomes. We know that during that period, children are going through massive maturation, the brain reaches 80% of adult size by the age of two connections are being formed neural connections are being formed, Megan's every manager in that area, But talking about brains poking about synapses, you can think that that's a really biological process but actually what we know is that humans are exquisitely social animals, and it's really the social experience that drives that process, The ordinary Manchego reciprocal consistent interactions between the caregiver between the father and mother and the child really drives and strengthen those neural connections forming the basis of secure attachment and entry I think this really fits with the kind of work that you did.

He has the stories, absolutely started the beginning and that's because he stopped from preconception onwards, we'd love to get to teenagers to educate them about wanting to have babies in the first place
