Details

Local authorities, the NHS and other partners can use the tool to inform the commissioning and provision of good quality services for babies, children, young people and families.

The healthy child programme schedule of interventions tool brings together evidence, guidance, information and resources to describe local prevention and early intervention activities from preconception to 19 years of age, or 25 where there is a statutory entitlement. It includes information about:

  • preconception care
  • promoting child development
  • improving babies, children and young people’s health outcomes
  • ensuring that families at risk are identified at the earliest opportunity

The healthy child programme is the national prevention and early intervention public health framework. It includes screening, immunisation, health and development reviews, health improvement, wellbeing and parenting.
