The nationwide survey is part of the Duchess' ongoing Early Years Initiative, and the aim of the new project, in her own words: “I want to hear the key issues affecting our families and communities so I can focus my work on where it is needed most. My ambition is to provide a lasting change for generations to come.”

Kate wore a patterned blouse and trousers for today's outing.  She debuted Tabitha Webb's 'Pansy Pussybow' blouse in green chevron (£295). Made in the UK, the silk top is now available for pre-order  (with thanks to What Kate Wore for the ID).

Kate teamed it with her navy Jigsaw High Waisted Sport Luxe Trousers.

It appears the Duchess wore her navy suede Emmy London 'Josie' pumps.

Kate complemented the blouse with her green onyx Monica VinaderSiren Wire Earrings.

There was a new piece of jewellery on her wrist. It's not very often we see Kate wear a bracelet so it was a nice surprise to see her accessorise with a Halcyon Days 'Maya' Torque Aquamarine and Gold Bangle (£110) - ID by UFO No More.

Halcyon Days is a British company specializing in fine enamelware, and it holds three Royal Warrants as suppliers of Objets d’Art.  The Maya Torque bangle is a stylish open-end design with a hint of art deco where the twisted metal meets the aquamarine enamel finish.
