answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2014 answer text <p>Responsibility for action to tackle child maltreatment and respond to the needs of vulnerable children rests primarily with local government, alongside other local agencies, including health services and the police. This work is co-ordinated by local safeguarding children boards. Our statutory guidance, ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children’<em>, </em>sets the framework within which local agencies should work on a multi-agency basis to safeguard children. Ofsted inspects local authority services for children in need of help and protection, and inspections focus on the quality of these services, including whether the right decisions are made for young people and whether they are made at the right time.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 27/10/2014 17:52:24 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2014 answer text <p>The Government welcomes the action plan including, in particular, its focus on maximising the gains from evidence-based programmes. The inter-agency statutory guidance <em>Working Together to Safeguard Children</em> places a significant emphasis on preventative, early help. That approach includes the important part played by, among others, health visitors, <strong>family nurses</strong><strong>,</strong> school nurses and the Healthy Child Programme. <strong>In this respect the Government has increased the number of health visitors by 2,206 since 2010 and the number of places on the Family Nurse Partnership programme will increase from 6,500 in 2010 to 16,000 in 2015.</strong><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The <strong>Healthy Child</strong> Programme is the key universal service for improving the health and wellbeing of children, by bringing together the evidence-based actions of those who deliver care to babies and children. It provides health and development reviews, health promotion, parenting support, and screening and immunisation programmes.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><em>Note:</em></p><p> </p><p>- health visitor numbers compare May 2010 with end-July 2014</p><p> </p><p>- FNP places – original commitment was to double them, to 13,000 by 2014 (later increased to 16,000 by 2015) – which suggests a 2010 baseline (which we are unable to confirm in a hurry) of 6,500.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 27/10/2014 17:17:34 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter
