Popis: The Maternal Early Childhood Sustained Home-visiting (MECSH) programme is being implemented in Australia, South Korea, the USA, the UK and the Channel Islands. In the UK, the programme has been implemented at scale in Essex, Plymouth and Lewisham and in regions of Somerset as part of a trial. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the MECSH programme and outline the evidence of the programme's effectiveness, fit for the UK context, and research that is still in progress; and explore how the programme achieves changes in outcomes for families and children.
