Interviews published to mark ten years of ICYP public health in local government
Raising a child is a profound responsibility that resonates beyond the parents and immediate family. In practice, that means we need a strong heath visiting and school nursing workforce, but we also need other parts of local government and our partners playing a role. We all have to step up.

The Local Government Association has published a series of interviews to mark ten years of infants, children and young people’s (ICYP) public health in local government, with leaders from across the sector discussing their thoughts on the impact made over the past ten years and what more can be done to support ICYP.
As part of the series, Greg Fell, ADPH President, Alice Wiseman, ADPH Vice President, Ruth Tennant, ADPH Board Member and Director of Public Health, Education and Inclusion at Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council and Sarah Muckle, ADPH Policy Co-Lead for Children and Young People have all shared their insights and experiences of working to improve the health and wellbeing of ICYP.
Sarah Muckle also wrote an article recently for TheMJ to mark the ten year anniversary of the transfer of the Healthy Child Programme for 0 to 5 year olds from the NHS.
