Pathways for Children and Young People in Newham 

What does the journey from pregnancy to age 5 look like in Newham? Do you know about the help available from Health Visiting, Children’s Centres and voluntary sector partners?

The public health team recently launched a 0-5 pathway which joins a collection of resources mapping out the local services available for babies, children and their families. It summarises the milestones and support available throughout a child’s journey from pregnancy to age 5. 

This has the potential to be particularly helpful for first time families, especially those new to the Borough or struggling to navigate the system. The aim of this was to create a resource which could help parents understand and navigate the services available, reducing the chance of anyone missing out on vital support. 

The 0-5 pathway was produced in collaboration with key partners, including the Family Hubs network, and is now available for use across a variety of services. Similar to the other pathways which cover support including the Health Visiting Service, Children’s Centres and VCS partners, it is proving helpful in terms of indicating the journey of a young person and the interdependencies between different organisations. 

Free printed versions of the pathways are available via this form.  Find out more about these important services and view the pathways here.
