Barnet breastfeeding team celebrates UNICEF accreditation

Published: 13th June 2017

Our health visiting service in Barnet has achieved Stage 2 assessment in UNICEF's Baby Friendly accreditation. This recognition is based on a set of standards across three stages, taking a number of years to implement.

The standards are designed to provide parents with the best possible care to build close and loving relationships with their baby and to feed in a way that supports optimum health and development.

UNICEF stated that CLCH's health visitors had "demonstrated knowledge and skills to support mothers who are breast and bottle feeding and gave relevant practical tips to boost mothers' confidence."
