title: Power to the parent.
abstract: Local mothers called them the 'health police'; they set up a group to find out what clients wanted but no-one came; they were spending more time on paperwork than on seeing clients; they were demoralised and stressed. Cath Jackson describes how handing over child health records to parents transformed the working lives of one team of health visitors.
