Details
This guidance is for all employers of health visiting and school nursing teams to help support recruitment and retention of health visitors and school nurses, to sustain the quality and consistency of local services.
It was developed by Public Health England (PHE) in partnership with the Local Government Association (LGA) and wider stakeholders, to help employers support an effective workforce to sustain high-quality outcomes for children, young people, families, carers and local communities.
Note: the PHE team leading this policy transitioned into the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) on 1 October 2021.
