The Crucial Role of a Health Visitor

In this episode, Zak and Kerry explore the vital role of Health Visitors in giving every child the best start in life. Joined by Dr Sharin Baldwin, Senior Health Visitor Lead at the Institute of Health Visiting, and Edwina Lintin, Bradford MECSH Champion, they discuss how evidence-based practice and the MECSH programme - an enhanced health visiting programme - support families, strengthen early relationships, and reduce inequalities.

Together, they highlight why focused investment in the earliest years is essential, and what needs to change to help all babies and young children thrive.
