Nurse Family Partnerships

[Guest guest]

I was at the Manchester feedback session for the pilot for the Family Nurse Partnership programme yesterday and wondered if everyone knew that the second round of bids was launched on Monday at the London meeting. Details are I think to go on the Dept for Children, Schools and Families website via the ECM portal, at the start of next week, but I can't find any website at the moment - maybe someone else knows where to find this?

This is the 1st of three more funding rounds and the rules are changing slightly this time. Did anyone else go to the feedback session - what did you think. I had mixed views.
