Scheme: Worcester Health Visitors Sample Packs: Sample Packs have been delivered to Health Visitor bases throughout
Worcester City. The comprehensive pack contains a range of reusable nappies. Depending on the success of this initiative,
it is the intention of Worcestershire County Council to roll similar schemes to other health visitor centres and midwives
across the county during 2004.

Worcester City Real Nappy Trial:
100 participants are to receive a free introduction pack worth £70, containing different brands and systems of real nappies.
This is an opportunity for parents to trial various types of nappies without buying a complete set.
In return, participants are asked to provide regular feedback on their use of the real nappies in the introduction pack. The
information will be used by the County Council as baseline data for futrue promotion of real nappies.
