What do we do?
Our School Health Service teams lead the delivery of the Healthy Child Programme; a framework for universal and targeted approaches to address children and young people’s health &and wellbeing. This includes coordinating and delivering public health interventions for school-aged children from 5-19 years old.
We can offer advice to children and young people, their families and school staff on a wide range of physical, emotional health and wellbeing topics. We can also signpost you to other services that may help.
We support schools in delivering health education, health care plans for children with medical needs, and medical training for school staff for reception class or new puipls. We provide health education through assemblies, classroom sessions and coffee mornings.
The team may also come into school for health assessments where there are concerns about a child's health and well-being. The team also delivers Children and Young People Healthy Weight Management Service.
