Abstract
Infant 2 School (I2S) is a new, individualised family-centred
early intervention, and health and development promotion
programme that is designed to be delivered by community
nursery nurses (CNN) from within health visiting teams.
The programme aims to address identified service gaps by
supporting and complimenting the work that health visitors
do so that vulnerable families needing additional help have
access to evidence-based interventions in a timely manner.
I2S was recently launched in the UK and this paper provides
an overview of the programme including its origin, structure,
content, benefits and anticipated outcomes for children
and families.
