When the authorities visit after a child's accident
Average rating:
Don't worry - it's entirely normal and good practice for health visitors to contact families who've been to A&E. When a child under five attends, the family health visitor is automatically informed. Most hospital attendances are stressful, especially if there's been an accident. Your health visitor will just be offering you an opportunity to talk through the event, maybe helping you prevent it happening again, and checking that your child is okay now.
