170 CHAPTER 6 and regional coalitions Solid Start the flexibility to develop approaches tailored to their specific context, and to remain responsive to their evolving needs. Additionally, we suggest closer involvement of other ministries and a more prominent inclusion of the perspective of future generations. Improving health, wellbeing and equity starting in early life entails responsibilities that extend beyond the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport to other ministries (i.e. Interior and Kingdom Relations, Social Affairs and Employment, Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, and Education, Culture and Science) (92). These ministries have a role to prevent and solve the larger societal causes of vulnerability, and their policies can influence protective factors and resilience. Enhanced collaboration between different policy sectors can strengthen their separate efforts and contribute to aims both within and outside the health sector (from Health in All Policies to Health for All Policies) (93, 94). Similarly, the Dutch Council of Public Health & Society (Dutch abbreviation: RVS) stresses the need to safeguard children’s rights and interests across all policies and legislations. Hence, aligning with the principles of ‘it takes a village to raise a child’, we advise to include the perspective of future generations in all policy making. Integrate the action program Solid Start into everyday practice: facilitate champions and foster ‘normative integration’ Following the aforementioned points, we recommend prioritizing the integration of the action program Solid Start into the daily practice of all professionals. More specifically, we suggest providing both financial and practical support to champions within local coalitions Solid Start, regional structures and individuals who serve as advocates at the national level. Additionally, we propose to foster normative integration (i.e. knowing each other, developing a shared vision and culture) through interactions among professionals with diverse backgrounds. This can be achieved through regular in-person coalition meetings or multidisciplinary team gatherings. Additionally, activities such as shadowing peers in their daily practice or organizing work visits can offer valuable insights and promote mutual understanding by providing a behind-the-scenes view. These practices are already done in various locations. Lastly, we recommend identifying coalitions and professionals’ needs to integrate the action program Solid Start into everyday practice on an ongoing basis, potentially through a learning infrastructure as elaborated in the next paragraph. Stimulate and integrate learning processes at different levels Drawing from the lesson that learning is pivotal, we would recommend to stimulate and accelerate learning processes in different ways and at different levels. Professionals in daily care and support should receive sufficient support and time (working hours) to prioritize collaborative learning activities and cyclical improvement processes. Additionally, a learning infrastructure across local and regional coalitions Solid Start is recommended and could be facilitated by national levels. This includes the provision of resources, practical tools and guidance in how to use learning for reflection and improvement within and across coalitions Solid Start. Next, it is advised to expand a learning infrastructure between local, regional and national levels, and across practice, policy, research and experts-byexperience. These boundary spanning learning processes may help to adequately respond
