Support for children and families

School Nurses work with children, young people, and their parents/carers to maximise their health and well-being. School Nurses can meet with children and young people in groups, for example in school, or individually in several venues such as at school, at home or another venue in your local community.  School Nurses provide information and support on several topics that children or young people come across that can affect their health.

If you would like support from the school nursing service, you are able to contact them directly or you can complete the referral form. A School Nurse will call you back to talk about the reason for your call and the support they can offer. If the school nursing service can offer you further support, they will explain how and when this will happen.
