The second annual ICON week is taking place between 26th to 30th September 2022 to raise awareness of infant crying and how to cope to support parents/ carers and prevent serious injury, illness and even death of young babies as a result of Abusive Head Trauma that happens when someone shakes a baby.
The ICON programme aims to prevent Abusive Head Trauma (AHT) in infants by helping parents and carers with young babies to cope with infant crying. This year’s ICON Week is focussing on sharing ideas and best practice. More than 15 webinars are taking place throughout the week with speakers from the military, police, primary care, parent ambassadors, health visitors, and the education section.
