The Healthy Child Programme (HCP) is a national requirement of Local Authorities. The HCP focuses on the contribution of health visiting and school nursing services leading and co-ordinating the delivery of public health for children aged 0 to 19. The HCP aims to bring together health, education and other main partners to deliver an effective programme for prevention and support. The HCP also includes the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) which provides specialist Public Health Nurses who can support teenage and vulnerable young parents and their families. This service is commissioned and free to use for service users. This service is offered by a health provider.
