Why is this Toolkit needed?
How to use this Toolkit
This toolkit is designed for use by public health nurses, including, midwives, health visitors, school nurses, general practice nurses and other professionals working with families. Through our research, we identified 9 main topic areas to include in the toolkit. This was a co-production, with the design of this toolkit being led by the front line practitioners for whom it is intended. We have designed the toolkit to be mobile friendly so that each topic can be accessed ‘on the go’, with ‘read more’ pages available for each topic to give a deeper understanding and access wider resources. Practitioners are reminded that the welfare of children is paramount; better outcomes for children are best achieved by working in partnership with others. Every family will have its own issues. Practitioners should work holistically with parents and children and respond to their needs. Effective collaboration will include practitioners acquainting themselves with other professionals, community and faith organisations working with families locally.
