The Healthy Child Programme - 0-19 years

Descriptions

Westmorland & Furness Council is advising of the contract award for The Healthy Child Programme 0-19 years after following the Competitive Process of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime 2023). The Healthy Child Programme (HCP) is the early intervention and prevention public health programme that lies at the heart of universal service for children, young people, and families at a crucial stage of life, including pre-conception. The 0-19 HCP’s universal reach provides an invaluable opportunity to identify families that need additional support and children who are at risk of poor outcomes. The 0-19 HCP sets out the good practice framework for prevention and early intervention services for children, young people and their families and recommends how health, education and other partners working together across a range of settings can significantly enhance a child’s or young person’s life chances.
