Every Baby in the UK Will Have Their DNA Mapped Within a Decade

Mapping the DNA of every baby born in the UK is a bold and questionable futuristic leap in public health. If implemented with the right ethical safeguards and public engagement, it could set a global standard for proactive healthcare, reduce disease burden, and improve life expectancy across generations. But as science marches forward, so must human rights protections. The challenge is not just mapping genes, it’s mapping out a future where technology enhances freedom, dignity, and equality, not erodes them.

Researching Poverty and Vulnerability

To truly support vulnerable families, we must see poverty for what it is—a pervasive risk factor that influences every other domain of a child’s life. More than just economic deprivation, poverty reduces access to opportunity, stability, and wellbeing. Investing in early intervention, social work training, disability inclusion, and long-term support for care leavers and young carers is essential.
