Information for professionals in Worcestershire

The Starting Well Partnership has delivered public health nursing services for children, young people and families across Worcestershire since April 2020.

The Partnership, which is led by Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust and includes Barnardo’s, Action for Children, and Redditch Borough Council, brings together a range of professionals that will support ‘parents to be’ and their children during the early years and will ensure young people’s health needs are met as they move through school towards adulthood. We work alongside lots of local organisations and community groups including schools to identify and address health and wellbeing needs by empowering families and young people to access support networks and groups in their local community.

The Starting Well Partnership works within six district teams across Worcestershire. These teams are made up of Health Visitors, Parenting Support Workers, Community Nursery Nurses, School Health Nurses, Health Care Assistants, Volunteer Coordinators, Community Health Connectors, Business Support Officers and Administrators.
