The Healthy Child Programme offers every family an evidence-base programme of interventions, including screening tests, immunisations, developmental reviews, and information and guidance to support parenting and healthy choices. It also outlines all services that children and families need to receive if they are to achieve their optimum health and wellbeing.

In addition to this mandatory delivery, the specification also includes the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) and infant feeding requirements of the Healthy Child Programme.
