Health

Knowsley Early Years Service work closely with the Wirral Community Health and Care and other Midwifery and ‘Healthy Knowsley’ partners. Some of the ways we work together include:

• Staff and volunteers promote Knowsley Early Years Service in your local baby club.
• We carry out visits to families who have not had their 12 month assessment with a Health Visitor.
• The Healthy Knowsley Team visit all of our Baby Massage sessions to ensure families have update information on health and wellbeing.
• We signpost and refer to a number of services to ensure families have the support they need, including Knowsley’s Smokefree Knowsley, Infant Feeding Team, and Building Attachments and Bonds Service (BABS).
• We sit on a number of Public Health strategy groups to help inform the work happening in Knowsley to support families, on topics including oral health, sexual health, breastfeeding and obesity.
• We have a number of infant feeding workshops and breastfeeding support groups throughout our centres – check out the timetable for more dates or take a look at the Breastfeeding Support Teams’ websites – Breastfeeding Buddy and Infant Feeding Team.
