Answer

Healthy Child, Healthy Future (HCHF) is a framework for the universal Child Health Promotion Programme within Northern Ireland. It states that the appropriate venue for the one-year review is the child’s home. However, the review may take place at another venue (e.g. a health clinic), in certain circumstances, if it is not possible to carry out the review in the home.
