Who We Are
When your child first enters school, health
advice is transferred from the Health Visiting Service to the School Nursing Service. This service continues until your child leaves education.
The School Nursing Team provide an accessible service to children, young people, families, carers and members of the local community.
Confidentiality
Whilst we offer confidentiality, members of the School Nursing Team work in partnership with other agencies, where information may need to be shared in the best interest of your child.
Consent
The School Nurse Team will obtain consent from parents and carers before supporting children and young people. In secondary schools young people can access the School Nurse independently for advice and support without parental consent, although we would always encourage young people to speak with their parent/carer.
