It actively seeks to support families as well as individuals from birth, through school, and into adulthood.\nHealth Visiting and School Nursing combined services will take a ‘think family’ approach to supporting children and families, with a focus on universal services, early help and prevention of risk-taking behaviours. There is an expectation that the Provider will develop a Strengthening Families model which may incorporate the Target Maternal Early Childhood Sustained Health Visiting (MESCH) and the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) a key element of the HCP to support vulnerable families.\nThere is a high level of expectation that the Provider can continue the service development and improved KPIs achieved of the the last year. This will require rapid understanding of the local offers and consistency of staff empowerment and innovation.\nPerformance measures.\nThe Provider will ensure the Programme’s indicators (KPIs) nationally and locally reported are made available quarterly, alongside staffing and financial position, alongside a narrative on the previous quarter’s performance and a forward plan including any mitigating actions will be presented.\nPerformance measures consist of the national data set and localised service improvement measures."
