This programme has been developed in response to the Government's Health Visitor Implementation Plan 2011-15 and ongoing work by the Department of Health to re-affirm the essential role of the school nurse and health visitor in delivering a universal and early intervention service to children, young people and their families.

The School of Health & Social Care has developed this programme with local partner healthcare organisations. It is intended to meet the needs and expectations of the new agenda and make a difference to the health and well-being of individuals and communities.
