· Health visitors are overwhelmingly popular and trusted by parents - yet parents face a post-code lottery when it comes to accessing help from their health visitor. · Health visitors hold responsibility for supporting all new parents with the challenges of new parenthood. · They are at the forefront of preventative health services and they could be the key to identifying and acting to tackle serious problems from postnatal depression, emerging parenting or behavioural difficulties to childhood obesity. Vulnerable families stand to gain most from an effective universal network of health visitors.
Yours Sincerely
Susan Wright
Member of Parenting Institute and Trainee Teacher
