This study demonstrates that virtually delivered parent support via the Family Connects (FC) programme during the COVID-19 pandemic was taken up by almost as many families (42.9%) as face-to-face home visits prior to the pandemic (51.1%).  A hybrid method of offering support to new parents may be worth considering in future.
