There are various services available to help you maintain the physical and mental wellbeing of you and your family.
Vaccinations for babies and children
Getting vaccinated is a normal part of growing up in the UK. It is one of many things people do to protect their children from serious diseases like meningitis, polio, measles, mumps and rubella.
The decision to vaccinate your children is yours and it’s natural to have questions about whether it is the right thing for you and your family.
Find all the information you need about the vaccines your child can get at every stage of their life, why they are important, and the vaccines you can have while you are pregnant.
Oral health
To ensure your child has a healthy mouth, teeth and gums, it is important to build a healthy oral health routine by ensuring they brush their teeth twice a day and get yearly check ups.
You can get advice on oral health or collect oral health kits from your local Children and Family Hub.
