Published in October 2019, ‘Health Visiting in England: A Vision for the Future’ sets out our evidence-based blueprint for health visiting.
Our ‘Vision’ was developed in response to the government’s request for stakeholder engagement to inform their refresh of the health visiting model for England and the Healthy Child Programme, and against a backdrop of significant workforce losses. It sets out our model for a proportionate universalism approach for health visiting with a particular focus on fifteen areas where health visiting can have a high impact on health outcomes. Note: Whilst there have been some changes to the policy context in England since 2019, the Vision contains key principles for best practice, which are also transferable for other nations.
