We are proud to announce a powerful new podcast from the Institute of Health Visiting (iHV), featuring a conversation with renowned environmental campaigner Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah CBE.
Rosamund’s journey into advocacy began with the tragic death of her nine-year-old daughter, Ella, who became the first person in the UK to have air pollution listed as a cause of death. Since then, Rosamund has become a leading voice for clean air, children’s health, and environmental justice, founding the Ella Roberta Foundation to raise awareness and drive change.
In this heartfelt and informative podcast, Rosamund is in conversation with Victoria Jackson from the iHV sharing:
- The important reminder of who Ella was as a person ‘funny’, ‘caring’, ‘bright’ and ‘happy’. Be touched by the beautiful description Rosamund shares – ‘our house will forever be quieter since she left it’.
- Her personal journey with her daughter Ella and the challenges she faced.
- The urgent need to tackle air pollution and its impact on health including in utero. The important reminder that ‘air and water have no borders’ and the need for a cohesive approach.
- The critical role that health visitors can play in advocating for cleaner, healthier environments for families. The importance of educating families and building relationships to make informed decisions.
This podcast is a must-listen for health visitors, anyone working in public health, child development, or environmental policy and for anyone who believes that every child deserves the right to breathe clean air.
Listen now and be inspired by Rosamund’s unwavering dedication to making a difference.
