Support given to children and parents across the region has been recognised with Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) Health Visiting and Midwifery services receiving a prestigious award for the fourth time.
To achieve the UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) UK Baby Friendly Initiative Gold Award, the services go through a validation process each year showing that they are delivering an exemplary standard of support, guidance and services.
Beth Wiseman, Senior Manager Child Health and Maternity said: “To receive the UNICEF UK Baby Friendly Initiative Gold Award again is well-deserved recognition. The award reflects the outstanding work and commitment of our health visitors and midwives across Argyll and Bute communities.
“This award highlights the excellent practice in infant feeding support and recognises the important work our health visitors, midwives, and partners play in nurturing the development of parent-infant relationships and ensures local children get the best possible start in life.”
