Healthy Child Programme
How the programme can support you and your child as they grow.
Overview
Our Healthy Child Programme is a public health scheme designed to:
- help parents keep children healthy and safe so they reach their full potential
- protect children from serious disease, through screening and vaccination
- reduce childhood obesity by promoting healthy eating and physical activity
- make sure families, children and young people at risk are supported as early as possible
The programme is split into 2 age groups:
- Start for Life: for 0 to 5 year olds
- Healthy Child: for 5 to 19 years olds
Start for Life
Visiting health services lead the programme for newborn to 5-year-old children.
