A better start


An update to the Healthy Child Programme, the public health early intervention programme, reflects changes in the children's health landscape. The new version, which puts an increased emphasis on pregnancy and the first five years of life, higlights parenting support, applying new information about neurological and children's development, altered public health priorities and a focus on vulnerable families. There are now three core documents, covering pregancy and the first two years, the two year review and five to nineteen years old.
