Health visitors
Health Visitors work with parents and carers. They offer support from the ante-natal period until the child starts school at five years.
The service includes a team of:
- Health Visitors
- School Nurses
- Staff Nurses
- Nursery Nurses and
- Parent Support workers.
They work with families to help support children’s health and development, to make sure they have the best possible start in life.
You as parents/carers know your child better than anyone. The Service will work in partnership with you to promote your child’s health, development and well-being from the antenatal period, right through the Early Years, providing you with support, advice and guidance.
Support is available from the service until the young person reaches 19 years of age and can offer advice and guidance on many topics. This might include parent’s mental health, feeding, sleep, behaviour, potty training, child development or emotional wellbeing.
