Infant Abandonment Prevention Initiative
No Parent Should
Face Crisis Alone.
The UK has No Safe Haven law.
This risks leaving many parents in crisis without a clear pathway forward.
BABY-I is the bridge between Crisis and Prevention.
If you feel unable to keep your baby safe, please reach out to us.
We are here for you and your baby, and our support is confidential and non-judgmental.

Pre-registration notice: BABY-I is preparing for charitable registration. We are not yet a registered charity.
What We Cannot Do And Why That Matters
You are brave for seeking help.
Section 20 accommodation is voluntary. This is not an adoption, and you retain parental responsibility. It is also not a punishment. It is a legal duty the Local Authority owes to every child in need.
Disclaimer : BABY-i is a support and referral organisation and we can not guarantee what any agency will decide. We do not provide legal, medical, or social work services. All legal advice is provided by independent solicitors acting solely in the interests of the parent.
Only police and local authorities have these legal powers. We work alongside them - never instead of them.
We cannot remove an abandoned baby
We cannot transport infants
We cannot make welfare decisions
We cannot initiate court proceedings
