Best Start in Life newsletter provides timely resources for BME mums, dads

Posted on: 23 February 2023

As the providers of Waltham Forest’s Healthy Child Programme, the Care Group is pleased to see the launch of a new resource for parents and families in the borough. The latest issue of Waltham Forest’s Best Start in Life newsletter is out now, and it’s packed full of useful information.  

The latest edition features tips for Black and Brown mums who are breastfeeding - especially important given the higher mortality rates among these populations in the UK. The issue also signposts readers to Child Health Clinics with members from our 0-19 team.

Dads play a critical role in a child’s development. In the latest issue, dads can find opportunities to meet other dads and share their experiences amongst each other.

Last July, the GP Care Group became providers of the Healthy Child Programme in Waltham Forest, to deliver the three-year contract comprising of Waltham Forest’s Health Visiting, School Nursing, and Family Nurse Partnership services.
