New Good Practice Points for Health Visitors in supporting the couple relationship during the transition to parenthood have been published for our Associate members.

It is well established that new parents are more likely to ‘turn to’ someone like a health visitor when they first experience some kind of relationship problem. Health visitors are in a unique position to offer early preventative relationship support and promote family and relationship stability

The new GPP is found on the Relationships resources page (available to Associate members only).

This morning Minister Dan Poulter MP launched a fantastic new iHV resource to drive health improvement in the early years during his speech at the ‘At the Heart of it All’ public health conference in Birmingham.

The information sheets provide key evidence based advice for parents faced with a range of dilemmas such as how to introduce vegetables into their toddlers diet.

They also provide a unique collection of evidence from research and health visiting specialists for student and new health visitors to drive practice improvement.
