Our next iHV Insights event:

iHV Insights: Improving the lives of babies and children with SEND – book here
19 June, 15:30-16:30

Solving the SEND crisis is a priority for the government and will require a whole system response, starting in the critical earliest years of life. What role does health visiting have to play in this? Join our next iHV Insights event as we explore this question.

In December 2024, the cross-party Committee launched a call for evidence to find solutions to the growing crisis in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). In response, the Institute of Health Visiting (iHV) placed babies, children, and families at the heart of its submission – advocating for a collaborative, effective approach to improve outcomes and reduce inequalities. As the SEND crisis continues to place increasing strain on families and services, there has never been a more crucial time to come together to be innovative and share best practice and research to improve support for babies and children with SEND.

Join us for our next Insights event ‘Improving the lives of babies and children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities’ where we will focus on solutions together, including early identification, timely intervention, and integrated support – laying the foundations for a brighter, more inclusive future for every baby and child with SEND.

Working Together to Safeguard Children 2023 – implications for 0-19 practice (28/03/24)

Held in partnership with the School and Public Health Nurses Association (SAPHNA)

The Department for Education published the new Working Together to Safeguard Children 2023 guidance on Friday 15 December. What does this mean for 0-19 practice? At this special Insights event, we were delighted to be joined by national policy leads in the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS Safeguarding who provided an overview of the main changes in this statutory guidance and their potential implications for health visiting and school nursing services.  It also provided an opportunity to ask questions, share any concerns or suggestions that you may have, and support your understanding of how the changes will affect your practice.

In this Insights event, experts in the field of safeguarding and child protection discussed and shared their knowledge to support health visiting and school nursing services.

Speakers included:

  • Ruth Atkinson, Vulnerable Children Policy Manager, Department of Health and Social Care
  • Kenny Gibson, Deputy Director of NHS Safeguarding, NHS England and NHS Improvement
