Support for Parents and Carers

Public Health Cornwall and Headstart Kernow have teamed up with a range of experts in Cornwall to provide a series of multimedia workshops for parents and carers living in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.  Designed to help you get a better understanding of the everchanging world your child is growing up in, to guide you to available services and support and to promote helpful conversation.

Protect your family by keeping your home and car smoke free

More than 80% of secondhand smoke is invisible and odourless, so no matter how careful you think you're being, your family still breathes in harmful poisons, putting them at risk of meningitis, cancer, bronchitis and pneumonia.

Opening windows and doors or smoking in another room in the house will not make it safe for those around you. Babies exposed to second-hand smoke are more at risk of cot death.
