About The Video
The Northern and Yorkshire Cleft Lip and Palate Team in Newcastle have launched their new film, "Easing The First Few Hours" (part funded by CLAPA), as part of Cleft Lip and Palate Awareness week.
It is a comprehensive film covering types of cleft, causes of clefting, the care that the baby and child will receive with the cleft team and, importantly, the experiences and advice of parents whose child was born with a cleft lip and or palate. It is aimed at new parents and the health professionals who treat them at the time of diagnosis or birth.
Your Opinion
People are invited to take a survey after viewing the DVD to provide feedback to the cleft team and CLAPA.

Reviews
Dr Sue Brown, Consultant Clinical Psychologist said, "Film is such a powerful way to get across what can be complex issues and it can be made accessible to a large number of people via the internet".
Angela Porritt, a parent from Durham said, "This will be a great training resource for doctors, nurses, sonographers and midwives to equip them for when they come across a baby with a cleft in their professional careers for the first time".
