What we are sending to Healthy Start families
Along with their vouchers, Healthy Start families get simple information designed to help them get the most out of the scheme. This includes reminders to report changes of circumstances so that they get the right number of vouchers, information about vitamins to encourage them to claim their Healthy Start vitamin supplements, and healthy recipes and tips to help them include Healthy Start foods in their daily meals.
Information sent to each family is usually designed to reflect the age of the oldest child getting Healthy Start vouchers. This is because our research suggests that families are more receptive to advice and information when they have their first child. So the content of the information will be targeted at:
- families with a child aged 1–4 years
- families with a child aged 0–12 months
- women who are pregnant and have no children under 4 years old.
PDFs of the information we have sent with vouchers recently are available below. You might find it useful to look at what we have been saying, so that you can refer to it when you are talking to beneficiaries.
