ICON – Babies Cry, You Can Cope programme supports parents and carers manage normal infant crying and to prevent abusive head trauma injuries to babies caused by shaking, also referred to as ‘shaken baby syndrome’.
ICON is an evidenced-based programme designed to help parents and carers understand the normal crying pattern of young infants and to help them develop successful coping mechanisms to deal with this.
We have published a podcast where you will hear from Elaine Wyllie, Designated Nurse Safeguarding Children and Children in Care presenting a keynote speech about ICON at the Development in safeguarding: Manager’s Mini Masterclass in April 2021.
