Lanarkshire’s health visitors and family nurses are celebrating once again being awarded ‘Baby Friendly’ accreditation from the UNICEF Baby Friendly Initiative.
The re-accreditation recognises the high standard of their work supporting breastfeeding and helping parents form close, loving relationships with their children during the critical early years.
Lanarkshire’s health visiting teams work with mothers and fathers, their families and community groups to promote the health and wellbeing of children and reduce inequalities from the antenatal period until children start school.
