What will BoNEE do? Three topics:
• Feeding, eating and growing • Teeth, dentists and mouth health• Development, emotions and happiness
We have promised to work together over the next 5-10 years to make sure• Health services use the best evidence to promote good health• We, as a group, notice and act on inequalities in child health and
wellbeing• Researchers focus on topics that matter to our local children,
families and health services
