I noticed that Daniel Pelka case it has been noted that Coventry had the lowest number of Health visitors in the country (though this has now doubled)
I have moved county twice since my eldest were tiny. The initial area we lived in we had a HV but I moved when the children were 4 & 2 and I didn't have another health visitor until 4 years later when I had my youngest, despite the fact the 4 yr old had significant developmental delays. The HV was fleeting and we just saw her a couple of weeks following the birth.
I moved area again when the youngest was 2 and the others were 8 and 10. I have never seen a HV at all here. Infact, despite my eldest being a 'child in need' I was willfully ignored by social services for a whole year, then imo neglected for a further year. My eldest is a child in need due to severe disability, not neglect or abuse, but she is an extremely vulnerable individual and I do find it shocking it isn't followed up when you move.
I just wondered what other peoples experiences of moving counties were and whether you were ever followed up by professionals?
