Practice teachers initially raised a concern that they were unable to make a holistic assessment of a student, as they had no criteria that enabled them to address issues relating to values, attitude and behaviour. Practice teachers and academic staff worked together over a period of time to update assessment practices, developing a Practice Assessment Grid (PAG). The PAG identifies a common language with which practice teachers can benchmark their own values, enabling them to justify their decisions. Evaluation to date indicates that the PAG enables pract...

Studies suggest a correlation between negative birth experiences and depression in women and a small percentage of women meet the criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Studies on debriefing were examined, some of which suggested that midwife-led debriefing after an operative birth was ineffective in reducing maternal morbidity and the possibility of contributing to emotional health problems could not be excluded. Significant influencing factors were the timing and construction of the debriefing that was carried out. Guidance was found to give clear recomme...

The project has two main strategies, which are to work with midwives and health visitors in order that they can inform parents of the advantages of raising children bilingually, and to raise awareness among parents-to-be, parents and the general public of the advantages of raising children bilingually. The project is funded by the Welsh government through the Welsh Language Board, and its community workers provide health visitors, midwives and other partners within their areas with Twf resources and information about relevant research, and visit antenatal and postnatal clinics on a regular basis to talk to parents.

In 2007, a postal questionnaires was sent to 1200 teachers at 850 nursery schools, with responses from 712 teachers from 456 nursery schools. In terms of knowledge and skills considered necessary by nursery school teachers in local childcare support centers, 'knowledge and skills of giving advice' was the most common response, followed by 'understanding of children's growth and development'. Nursery school teachers need to receive sufficient education before and after graduation to gain these skills. It is also clear that there is a need for nursery school teachers to mak...

It aims to challenge the commonly held belief that 19th century northern working-class factory mothers were irresponsive and neglectful toward their infants, thereby fuelling the high northern infant mortality rate. It will do this by showing that factory mothers were responsible and responsive toward their infants despite being thwarted by the working patterns of industrialisation. It begins by outlining the arguments made by historians that northern working class women were neglectful toward their children. Then key areas such as the working patterns of waged factory mothers will be illustrated...

This paper considers how LAM works and how it may be supported in practice, and provides a local example involving the use of information provision and training to overcome barriers to its understanding and use. An information leaflet was produced based on national guidance and with input from local practitioners and women. Brief training was also used to help ensure that women receive consistent and up-to-date information from health professionals. PMID: 22096835 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Communit...

This contemporary model of practice is put into a health promotion context by use of a slightly modified framework and by the inclusion of examples of methods and outcomes of practice that link conceptually with the health assets model and aspects of 'Big Society' thinking. Community development, social capital and capacity building are discussed as key elements of community empowerment with a 'bottom-up' agenda driven by community members.

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of six experienced health visitors. Health visitors used multiple sources of information in assessing parent-child relationships, including direct observation of behaviour, assessment of known risk factors, knowledge of norms and 'intuition'.

This paper aims to refresh practitioners' background knowledge of complementary feeding and to outline the key features of baby-led weaning, as well as to explore the evidence that supports this approach as a logical adjunct to the move to six months for the introduction of solid foods. The more common concerns of parents and professionals, such as choking and iron intake, are addressed. Tips for implementing baby-led weaning are included and some of the potential benefits identified.

This has affected health visitors' preventive healthcare work with families. This paper draws on findings from the qualitative arm of a mixed-methods study that aimed to explore how child health promotion reform has been implemented. The particular focus of this paper is on health visitors' experiences of the process of policy reform. In-depth semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with 25 health visitors working in urban areas in England, and data were analysed thematically. Health visitors described policy change as being enforced, but views on the new programme were coloured by ...

Knowledge outcomes were measured before and after the training using the Coventry University Breastfeeding Assessment. Interviews with participants found the programme was well received and seen as a key way to ensure consistent evidence-based practice. Practitioners across all professional groups increased knowledge scores after training. Independent evaluation showed that self-study is flexible and acceptable, but requires self-motivation as well as basic computer skills and access. Self-study is potentially more affordable, and could provide a means to regularly refresh the knowledge of staff and...

Domperidone may be used to promote lactation, and there is evidence to support its use. However, the many non-pharmacological ways in which a mother may be supported should be tried before considering domperidone.

Food allergy symptoms can be very severe or subtle and sometimes overlooked. Following a Department of Health review of allergy services in 2006, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) was commissioned to produce a guideline to support GPs and other healthcare professionals in primary care and community settings in recognising the signs and symptoms of food allergy in order to bring about consistency in diagnosis and assessment. This paper has been written by a member of the guideline development group to provide an overview of the guidance. The guidance addresses six key clinical questions abou...

A bespoke Satisfaction Questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (Educators) were completed by 23 participants to elicit quantitative and qualitative data. Findings are presented in relation to three themes--aspects of the CPT role leading to satisfaction, aspects leading to dissatisfaction or burnout, and ways to enhance satisfaction and reduce burnout. The majority of CPTs were satisfied with their current role. A number of factors were elicited that affected participants' perceived satisfaction. Respondents s...

This requires a competent workforce. This paper reports on the development of a validated competence framework tool for the children and young people's health workforce. The framework brings together policy, strategic agendas and existing workforce competences. The framework will contribute to the improvement of children's physical and mental wellbeing by identifying competences required to provide proactive services that respond to children and young people with acute, continuing and complex needs.

Following a local audit of health visitor and school nurse caseloads, the existence of unallocated child records or children who could not be found came to light. These records were held and managed by the local child health department. Children who did not attend school were not offered a school nursing service, and were monitored solely by the educational welfare service. This paper reports on a project to identify and investigate the whereabouts of these children and to allocate the remaining records to school nursing teams. This would ensure that all children in the local area were visible and that any unmet health needs were assessed and addressed. The pro...

This emphasises the importance of preparation for parenthood. A Department of Health-commissioned review found provision and uptake of antenatal education to be variable, and so brought a group of experts together to consider Preparation for Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond. This paper provides an overview of the learning from the expert group's work, offering a new framework that professionals may use to plan effective local programmes and services.

There is concern that health professionals are overlooking recommendations for vitamin supplementation and opportunities for prevention. This paper reports on a study that aimed to identify current knowledge and practice regarding vitamin D deficiency and supplementation among community midwifery and health visiting teams employed in one NHS trust. A questionnaire was distributed to all health visiting and community midwifery team members (n=96), with a 76% response rate (n=73). Results suggest varying levels of awareness about vitamin D deficiency and groups at increased risk. Only 52% reported that they were aware of health department recommen...

With the long-term aim of synthesising these constructs into a useful tool to identify risk for mother-infant bonding and communication problems, the study utilised previously validated questionnaires. The inter-relationships between El and adult attachment anxiety/avoidance were investigated alongside their associations with mothers' self-assessments of bonding problems and with observer-based assessments of maternal communicative behaviour. The study suggests that the El capacity for managing and controlling emotions in challenging situations mediates the link between anxious attachment style and bonding problems. Women wi...

As a method to improve health and reduce health inequalities, localism aims to promote public health services to be responsive, resourced, rigorous and resilient. However, issues of evidence-based practice, staff freedom to innovate against the tensions of reforms and organisational structures are significant within primary care. By promoting local and professionally driven innovation, the experiences of one community service practice development unit are discussed as an effective approach to encourage local change and innovation. Two issues of...

The National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has published public health guidance on strategies to prevent unintentional injuries among children and young people aged under 15, along with related guidance on provision of home safety equipment and home risk assessments, and road design and modification. This paper, by a member of the NICE programme development group, aims to provide an overview of the guidance, which focuses on strategies, regulation, enforcement, surveillance and workforce development to prevent unintentional injuries in the home, on the road and during outdoor play an...

Despite changes in government legislation to improve children's services in order to prevent harm to children, this recent study demonstrated that health visitors were working with the complexities of needs among refugees and asylum seekers related to safeguarding both children and vulnerable women. The health visitors often worked with families and individuals with no support from other professional services, they worked with failed asylum seekers who were unable to access other forms of support and they worked with women and children who were caught in a ...

This paper reports on a case study exploring the success factors of a well established, health visitor-led protocol to identify and treat women with mild to moderate depression. Data were collected through interviews with a purposive sample of 12 community practitioners, a focus group of four health visitors and observation of a multidisciplinary steering group meeting. The protocol was described as an evidence-based tool and safety net that could be used flexibly to support clinical judgments and tailored to individual needs. Success factors included frontline clinician engagement and ownership, continuity of leadership to drive development and maintain mom...

Assessment and treatment services are limited in the UK. More multidisciplinary specialist facilities are needed. The professional interest shown in sleep training programmes and the public demand in response to media coverage of sleep issues suggests that these are likely to develop. A sleep disorder service has been in operation in Southampton for 25 years and this paper illustrates the organisational challenges for staff who are contracted on a largely sessional basis and have other healthcare roles. Experience in Southampton suggests that in such services the specialist nurse can play a pivotal role - as practitioner, team co-ordinator, waiting list manager, link person wi...

Of 167 families, 49 agreed to participate. Health was important to the families, and respondents had mixed experiences of attitudes from healthcare staff. Some reported very supportive attitudes, while a small number perceived rude or unhelpful behaviour. While families had a high opinion of their health visitor, one-third did not know how to contact the service and 40% (n = 21) did not know where their local children's centre or Sure Start was. When asked about difficulties accessing health care, not being listened to and not having the time to explain themselves were the two most frequently cited problems. When asked what they wo...

Audit of centrally collected data about families registered with the programme and feedback from parents show that compared with national data, families on CONI have more factors associated with an increased risk of cot death, confirming that a history of cot death identifies a particularly high-risk group. The programme, first offered to parents in 1988, remains attractive and helpful to parents in the 21st century. The CONI programme, including provision of a movement monitor, enables health visitors to deliver a targeted programme of extra care to a vulnerable group of babies. PMID: ...

This paper reports on an evaluation that set out to examine the usefulness of an interactive group session designed to explore the health benefits of breastfeeding. The session used a tool called the Breastfeeding Treasure Box, developed in the US but not previously evaluated. It consists of a box containing 14 items, each chosen to indicate a benefit of breastfeeding, together with a lesson plan. The evaluation was conducted in parentcraft sessions. Five staff with experience of delivering the session completed qualitative questionnaires and 48 clients completed questionnaires about their experiences. Overall, the tool was found to stimulate learning and change t...

It illustrates the key role and value of primary care clinicians in early infancy. The health visitor's careful and reflective observations, and her close links with a GP who shared her understanding of why these were significant, were the only means for this family to access help. The need for interventions in attachment is only likely to be identified by health visitors, with their unique opportunities to see families in their own homes.

This paper discusses how two students undertaking a foundation degree in early years experienced changes to their personal and professional identities. A 'life history' approach was used to understand and interpret their experiences in depth. Both students would not have entered higher education had it not been for the widening participation drive. The higher education experience had a positive influence on personal and professional identity for the learners. They underlined that the widening participation drive can enable those students from 'non-traditional backgrounds' to enter and benefit from higher education.

This paper, by two NICE guideline development group members, provides an update on the new guidance.

Modern health services operate in a situation of extreme social change, which resembles some of the conditions that gave rise to health visiting in 19th century Britain. A visit there revealed much interest in the health visiting principles of the search for health needs, the stimulation of an awareness of health needs, the influence on policies affecting health and the facilitation of health-enhancing activities. Explaining these principles to an audience on the other side of the world highlighted three underlying themes. The principles of health visiting are about health promotion, not assistance; they provide an integrated framework, not a list of competences or skills; and they are all underpinned by a particular value and v...

Health visitors are expected to lead the delivery of child health promotion programmes in geographical areas that include children's centres. During 2007, a group of eight health visitors linked to Phase 2 children's centres in Bristol formed a learning set facilitated by a public health specialist to explore how their role as both caseworkers and public health practitioners could become part of an integrated children's centre team. They developed two linked models intended to help health visitors develop both aspects of their role in practice.

Breastfeeding is a key public health issue, conferring benefits associated with both infant and maternal health, yet breastfeeding rates in the U.K. and Ireland are among the lowest in Western Europe. In this paper, the ways in which practice improvement can be utilised to enhance both efficiency and effectiveness are described, using a case study of the potential contribution of health visitors to increasing breastfeeding duration in primary care in order to illustrate this in clinical practice.

This paper outlines the findings of a participatory action research project conducted with families attending a health visitors' parent-baby group. A combination of participatory research methods were used to ascertain the infants' perspectives of the service and this led to a number of changes in terms of professional attitudes, service provision and working practices. Changes in professional attitudes included acknowledging the importance of social interaction to the children, recognising young children's views as embodied an...

Yet in the UK, we do not integrate support for the relationship between the baby and parents into antenatal parentcraft. Neither do we provide enough focus on the relationship in basic and post-qualification training or support for practitioners to integrate working with the relationship into their practice. The Solihull Approach provides one model for working with the relationship between parents and the child and between the parents and practitioner. It integrates concepts from disparate academic fields that can focus a practitioner's work on supporting the relationship between parents and baby or child, whether individually or in a parenting group.

In eight schools in Cornwall, 686 children from Years 3 to 6 and their families participated in the PACT programme, and were compared with 212 peers from four demographically-matched schools who received a standard curriculum. Parents in intervention schools believed that the PACT programme had a significant positive impact on the social and emotional development of their children and improved the partnership with their child's school. Parental ratings of their child's emotional literacy was significantly higher after participation in the programme, and the c...
