Warwickshire Child and Family Wellbeing

Warwickshire Child and Family Wellbeing is the Public Health Nursing Service for 0 to 19 year olds (up to 25 year olds for those with special educational needs and disabilities) across the county. The Public Health Nursing Service consists of Warwickshire’s Health Visiting and Warwickshire’s School Nursing services. 

HCRG Care Group, commissioned by Warwickshire County Council (WCC), delivers the Public Health Nursing Service on behalf of the county. They ensure there is a continuation of care from birth through to adulthood, to meet the evolving needs of local families and support Warwickshire’s children and young people to have the best start in life.

The Warwickshire Child and Family Wellbeing service provides a variety of advice, care and support including developmental check-ups, parent-infant health advice, and guidance on parenting and healthy choices. It also provides clear communications between health visitors and school nurses, and support for children to be school-ready, with children with complex needs being supported earlier before school enrolment.

For young people, school nurses offer guidance on various health issues including healthy eating, body image, bullying, anxiety, sleep, mental health, sexual health, and long-term health conditions, as well as undertaking a range of Health Needs Assessments and the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) as children grow older.
