Who we are

Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) is for first time parents aged 19yrs and under or 24yrs if a care leaver.  Young mothers-to-be are paired with a specially trained family nurse who visits them regularly, from early pregnancy until their child is aged between one and two.

How the programme works

Family nurses use FNP programme materials and methods to enable young mothers (and fathers) to achieve three main aims:

  • To improve their pregnancy outcomes, so that their baby has the best start in life.
  • To improve their child’s health and development by developing their parenting knowledge and skills.
  • To improve parents’ economic self-sufficiency, by helping them to achieve their aspirations (such as employment or returning to education).
