About MECSH
Better Start Bradford has supported the implementation of the Maternal Early Childhood Sustained Home Visiting (MECSH) programme with health visitors from Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust (BDCFT) in the Better Start Bradford area and Bradford East area.
MECSH was designed in Australia to provide structured support to families at risk of poorer maternal and child health development outcomes, delivered by the health visiting service. It has already been implemented in the south of England with Bradford being the first site in the north to implement it.
The programme has a structured visiting schedule with core modules to work through with parents, based on the best evidence, to enable the child to grow, develop and reach their milestones. Modules include learning to communicate, promoting first relationships and healthy beginnings.
The Better Start Bradford Virtual Live Learning Sessions are a great opportunity to learn more about the Better Start Bradford programme from our broad range of partners, and apply this learning to your work and the broader ‘Babies, Children and Young People’s Prevention’ agenda.
We welcome you to explore the other topics on offer during October to December 2024 and to book places on as many sessions as you’d like. All sessions are held via MS Teams.
These events are designed for practitioners and students in public, voluntary, education, arts and any other organisations who work with and support families, plus anyone who wants to know more about our work in the Bradford district.–
