All families in Staffordshire will be offered an antenatal contact from the Health Visiting team, a new birth visit at home, and a 6 week, 9-12 months, and 2 to 2 and a half year development review. When your child starts school you will receive information about your child's health. Weight and height reviews will be offered in reception and year 6 as part of the National Child Measurement Programme.

Families requiring extra support will have a named Health Visitor or School Nurse from the strengthening families team.

In addition to these routine contacts parents and young people can contact us for support or advice on by calling the hub, texting our chat health service or attending one of our drop in clinics. We also have active Facebook and Instagram sites - see below for links, further information and contact details.
