School Nurses

School Nurses are part of the 0-19 team who care for children and young people, aged 5 – 19, and their families, to ensure their health needs are supported within their school and community. For SEND children the service extends to the age of 25. They work closely with education staff and other agencies to support parents, carers and the children and young people, with physical and/or emotional health needs. 

Each member of the 0-19 team has links with many other professionals who also work with children including community paediatricians, child and adolescent mental health teams, health visitors and speech and language therapists. The school health nursing service also forms part of the multi-agency services for children, young people and families.
