A wide range of information and support is available through working within communities and across agencies.
It is the aim of Northumberland County Council that all children grow up in safe, healthy environments with secure relationships which are positive.
We use the framework behind the Healthy Child Programme to support this aim.
Support during pregnancy, birth and parenthood
The Start 4 Life website has useful information such as:
Tips and advice for mums-to-be on having a healthy pregnancy.
Feeding and activity tips to get your baby off to the best start.

Family Hubs
Throughout Northumberland there are many Family Hubs (previously known as Sure Start Children's Centres).
They ensure that all children get the best possible start in life. At the hubs, families with children under five can access support and information about health services, volunteering groups, education and community groups.
