HDFT - Growing Healthy 0-19(25) Northumberland

The Growing Healthy Northumberland 0-19(25) Service is for children, young people, and families in Northumberland. Our 0–19 (25) team helps children and families stay healthy and feel well. We have a ‘Children’s Health Service – HDFT’ app that gives advice from before a baby is born all the way to becoming an adult. We also work with other groups to help children grow up healthy, make good choices, and stay safe.

The 0-5 team (Health Visiting Team) works with parents and carers to ensure that children have the best start in life from pregancy through to early years to ensure children achieve to their full potential and are ready to start their school journey. 

The 5-19 Team (sometimes known as School Nurses) promote and protect the physical health and emotional wellbeing of children and young people who are school age.
