Nurse-family partnership programme second year pilot sites implementation in England the infancy period

Abstract

This is the second year report of a four-year evaluation study that is assessing the feasibility of delivering the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) Programme in England. The report focuses on the infancy phase of the programme addressing how it can be delivered with consistency, fidelity to the US programme model attained, its acceptability to clients, their engagement and retention as well as FNP in the wider children’s service context and its costs.
\n
\nThe evaluation involved case studies, structured face-to-face and telephone interviews with a sample of families receiving the programme (and some who had left the programme). Interviews were held with professionals delivering the programme, local commissioners of services for young children, Children’s Centre managers and FNP project leads.
