Commit to increasing mandatory health visitor contacts from five to six for children in England.
Recommendation
We recommend that the Government commit to increasing the number of mandatory health visitor contacts for children in England from five to six. To help it deliver this it should look at the approach that the devolved administrations have taken, where families can expect between 6 and 11 contacts with a health visitor, and set out the lessons that it can learn from their approach in its response to our report. (Recommendation, Paragraph 61) Workforce
