About the programme:

The programme provides support from early pregnancy until the child is two years old, parents are offered intensive and structured home visiting, delivered by specially trained ‘family nurses’. In doing so the programme hopes to bring about huge benefits such as readiness for school, improved educational achievement and a reduction in anti-social behaviours.

The Public Health Agency (PHA) introduced and rolled out the programme which is actively supported throughout Trusts in Northern Ireland.
