We are a team of qualified nurses with specialist training in public health for children, young people and families, qualified nursery nurses, school health screeners and skilled trained school health assistants. 

We work with children and their families as well as other partners such as maternity services, GPs, schools and social care, to deliver the Health Child Programme, to improve the health and well-being of all children and young people from five to 19* years (*extended to 25 years for SEND), and their families.  

Our school health service aims to support children and young people  and their families, to enable them to reach their full potential. We offer information and support in the following areas; emotional health and well-being, managing complex and additional health needs, monitoring growth and development and support with growing up and preparing to become an adult. 

Referrals are triaged and actioned according to the need.
