Children’s Services Immunisation Policy 0-19 Years (P2)

The current immunisation schedule has been designed to provide early protection against infections that are most dangerous for the very young. This is particularly important for diseases such as whooping cough, pneumococcal, Hib and meningococcal serogroup C infection. Providing subsequent immunisations and booster doses ensures continued protection against these diseases. Additional vaccinations are offered at specific points throughout the child, young person, and adult’s life to provide protection against infections before they reach an age at which they become at increased risk from certain vaccine-preventable diseases. Recommendations for the age at which vaccines should be administered are therefore informed by the age-specific risk for a disease, the risk of disease complications and the ability to respond to the vaccine. The recommended immunisation schedule should therefore be followed as closely as possible. Health Care professionals employed by Derbyshire Community Services Foundation Trust (DCHSFT) have a responsibility to promote the benefits of immunisation in a consistent, clear and evidence based way to parents, carers, and young people. The overarching aim of the policy is to therefore support practitioners to fulfil the requirements of their commissioned role in delivering the national universal childhood immunisation programme, alongside any targeted immunisation schedules safely and competently.

Joint Infant Feeding Policy (P112)

The joint policy aims to ensure that all staff at Derbyshire Community Health Services (DCHS) and Derbyshire County Council (DCC) Children’s Centres understand their roles in supporting expectant and new mothers and families. The policy emphasizes the importance of breastfeeding for both the baby and the mother, highlighting the numerous health benefits. It also addresses the need for care to be mother and family-centered, non-judgemental, and supportive of parents' decisions. The policy outlines the commitment to improving breastfeeding rates by implementing the UNICEF UK Baby Friendly Standards. This includes providing information to parents about the value of breastfeeding, supporting them to breastfeed for as long as they want, and protecting them from unethical marketing practices by formula milk companies. The policy encourages collaboration across professional boundaries to improve infant feeding support for all families. Leaders and clinicians are expected to take responsibility for making the UNICEF UK Baby Friendly Standards a reality and work together to improve mothers' and parents' experiences of care. The policy also includes a note that the term 'woman' or 'mother' should be inclusive of those who do not identify as female.
