Description

Westminster City Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea are commissioning an integrated pre-birth to five healthy child programme service. As part of the integrated service we require a new health visiting service will form part of the wider early help pathway in both councils to ensure all practitioners are best equipped to deliver on the national and local commitments for the best start in life. The newly formed pre- birth to five healthy child programme model will include both universal and targeted services to improve the health and wellbeing of all children, young people and parents. The overall aim of the service is to support families and all children from every community to be assured, confident and supported in a way that helps them thrive. To ensure all have equal opportunities to enjoy seamless, accessible and joined-up services that support and empower families to learn, develop and be healthy and happy. This means that: - Our settings, activities and opportunities are accessible for all families. - Our workforce, leadership and systems are integrated and joined up. - Messages, language and checks are consistent across the pathway. - Whole families, however they are made up, benefit from a holistic, inclusive and relational approach. - Emotional wellbeing and mental health of all families is the priority for the workforce throughout the pathway. - Children with SEND benefit from targeted support that allows them to develop and live happy and fulfilled lives. - Communities feel connected and inclusive allowing individuals and groups to support each other. We plan to integrate the early help and health visiting service, alongside the offer from maternity and wider VCS partners, to join up and modernise the delivery of the mandated Healthy Child Programme for families with low needs. This will include using technology to support a smart service that is responsive to levels of need.
