The Infant Mental Health Competencies Framework (IMHCF) has been developed for all those working with families and infants from pregnancy to age two, including health visitors and nursery workers, to help them address their training needs.
It has been drawn up by the Association for Infant Mental Health in partnership with the International Training School for Infancy and Early Years.
The IMHCF will be piloted by a selection of infant mental healthcare practitioners before being offered more widely.
The Association for Infant Mental Health also plans to run a pilot of an Infant Mental Health Recognition Register (IMHRR) from June to enable staff who work on infant mental health to gain recognition of their skills.
