Healthy Child Programme Recommissioning – Survey for Parents, Carers and Young People 

Overview

Help shape the future of child health services in Havering!

We’d love to hear about your experience with Havering’s Health Visiting and School Nursing services. These services are a key part of supporting the health and wellbeing of children, young people and their families—and your feedback can help make them even better.

Havering’s Healthy Child Programme (HCP) offers support for all children and families, from pregnancy through to age 19—and up to 25 for young people with SEND (special educational needs and disabilities). Whether it’s advice for new parents or guidance for school-aged children, the HCP is here to help.

• Health Visitors support families from pregnancy until a child is 5, offering regular visits and expert advice.
• School Nurses work with children and young people in schools, focusing on emotional wellbeing, healthy relationships, healthy weight and more.

Your views will help us understand what’s working well and where we can improve. Thank you for taking a few moments to share your thoughts—your voice really does make a difference.

Why your views matter

We’re inviting parents, carers, and young people aged 16 and over to tell us what they think about Havering’s Healthy Child Programme—including the Health Visiting and School Nursing services.

Your feedback will help us understand:

• What you think about the support you’ve received
• What’s made the biggest difference to you and your family

The survey takes around 10 minutes to complete. Your responses are confidential and will be used to help improve services for children, young people and families across Havering.

Please make sure to complete the survey by midnight on 26 October 2025—your voice matters!
