Answer
‘Nuture’ is only available to a specific group of settings, has a specific intervention model and is delivered by a relatively small specialist team. In order to maintain fidelity to that delivery model it is not included in the Local IMPACT Teams (LITs). If Nurture is mainstreamed in future, then LITs would potentially be the structure to use.
