Princess of Wales Visits Hampshire Alarm Distress Baby Scale Pilot
She met health visitors using the Alarm Distress Baby Scale to spot early withdrawal in infants and expand support for families.
- On Wednesday, the Princess of Wales visited Chase Community Hospital in Hampshire to observe the Alarm Distress Baby Scale , an observational tool health visitors use to identify early social withdrawal in infants aged 0 to 24 months.
- Kate championed the ADBB programme in the UK after observing the model in Denmark during a February 2022 visit, prompting the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood to launch the initiative across NHS services.
- Health visitors use the £250,000 project to identify early social withdrawal in infants, following two successful pilot phases across 10 NHS sites that demonstrated the tool's effectiveness.
- During the visit, the Princess met with healthcare worker Debbie Barrett and families receiving support, while Hampshire NHS Trust plans to expand ADBB training to its remaining 13 health visiting teams.
- The visit follows the Princess's recent interview in Prince William's Country Life issue released today, where she discussed how nature and relationships support healthy social and emotional development in babies and young children.
