## About this tender

The 0-19 Healthy Child Programme (HCP) is the early intervention and prevention public health programme that lies at the heart of universal service for children, young people, and families at a crucial stage of life, including pre-conception. The 0-19 HCP's universal reach provides an invaluable opportunity to identify families that need additional support and children who are at risk of poor outcomes.\\r

\\r

The 0-19 HCP sets out the good practice framework for prevention and early intervention services for children, young people and their families and recommends how health, education and other partners working together across a range of settings can significantly enhance a child's or young person's life chances.\\r

\\r

The Service will provide clinical leadership, co-ordination, and delivery of the 0-19 HCP across the Westmorland and Furness Council footprint. \\r
