Enfield and Haringey have commissioned a series of parent education events under the umbrella of ABC (Achieving Better Community). The aim of these sessions is to build on local initiatives e.g. NMUH ABC parents, Health Visiting GP link protocol:

• improving parents’ knowledge of health and wellbeing of a child
• increasing social networks and support for parents to decrease isolation and anxiety
• empowering parents to share advice and knowledge to maintain and manage the health and wellbeing of their children
• improve mental health and wellbeing of parents
• improve consistency of health care messages to parents from health care professionals.

These are unique sessions which help parents, carers and families gain important parenting skills. For example, what to do in an emergency, such as if your child stops breathing?
