Better tell them about the rise in safeguarding issues, more babies going into care, more perinatal mental health issues, more domestic abuse, immunisations being missed - if ever a gold star health visiting service was needed by families its now Matt Hancock Viv Bennett CBE

Is it time to reconsider in areas where baby clinics haven’t reopened. Pubs are open, shops are open why not clinics? Parents have spoken out powerfully about how they have been affected by the loss of these and other lifelines. iHV #TimetoAct #clinicsmatter Sally Hogg

ONLY IN THE NHS DO WE ❗️Limit potential due to someones banding ❗️Refer to people by their banding ❗️See status attached to bands ❗️Dismiss ability based on banding We need to stop bandism! As someone who’s been at every band from 2 to 8b-we need to appreciate the person more

With the NSPCC I'm asking Matt Hancock to make new mums, dads, and babies a priority. Will you join me please? iHV WeHealthVisitors 💙

Alison Morton OBE💙 iHV UK Prime Minister Andrea Leadsom @SAPHNAsharonOBE It astounds me that after working at a senior level and coming back to front line services that commissioners and public health fail to realise the impact HV and school nursing have on our future generations. #opportunity #influence

Leanne Howlett iHV Sally Hogg @SWFTSeniorNurses Thank you for sharing this. HVs are front line when health visiting - fostering supportive relationships with families with young children is crucial. We need to fright to keep them delivering HV services to prevent erosion of the role.

Babies love the sound of your voice. Babies would rather listen to speech or singing than any other kind of sound. Talking with your child is one of the best ways to make the most of their early brain-building years #babybrains youtube.com/watch?v=2Wpe2C…

I'm looking to speak to children's nurses about the impact of the pandemic on the workforce and services. I'm keen to talk to those who have been redeployed or are supporting children's mental health. This is for the next Nursing Times mag - can anyone help? #journorequest #nurse

@ProfJuneG We have the same concerns in health visiting-sending child development questionnaires through the post is not health visiting- neither is it a validated screening tool- it is just a waste of a stamp & won’t identify vulnerable children or accurately assess for developmental delay
