Service description
The Family Nurse Partnership provides an evidence-based, tailored, intensive, home visiting support by trained nurses. The service provides supportto vulnerable first time young parents with their mental health, parenting skills and their child’s development until the child’s second birthday. The service is voluntary, which means parents do not have to accept the support.
The Council is not required to provide this service and is not part of the standard Healthy Child Programme.
Current services provided
The Family Nurse Partnership is not a service available to all parents - it is targeted at vulnerable young parents and parents to be, aged under 19, such as Children in Care and young people who have experienced care.
The service can provide support for up to 125 young parents each year.
Proposed changes to services
3a: Reducing the delivery of the Family Nurse Partnership
Reducing delivery of the Family Nurse Partnership Service would mean that fewer vulnerable young parents would be able to access this service.
Support would still be availablefrom the 0-5 Healthy Child Programmeas would support from Social Care if the need wasidentified.
3b: Ending the delivery of the Family Nurse Partnership
Ending delivery of the Family Nurse Partnership Service would mean that vulnerable young parents would no longer be able to access the service. This would impact up to 125 of the most vulnerable young parents annually.
Support would still be available from the 0-5 Healthy Child Programme as would support from Social Care if the need wasidentified.
