Birmingham Forward Steps is an integrated health and wellbeing service for pre-school children across Birmingham. Led by Birmingham Community Healthcare (BCHC), the service is designed to provide all families of pre-school children with accessible, community-based services in their own homes, GP surgeries, childrens centres and a number of other community venues, with extra help available to those that need it. The citywide service is delivered collaboratively by BCHC working alongside Barnardos, Spurgeons Childrens Charity, the Springfield Project and St. Pauls Community Development Trust, across 10 districts for children and their parents/ carers from shortly before birth up to the age of five.
