They offer information and advice, and assess health needs on children entering school and on transfer to secondary schools. They are the first point of contact for schools when there are concerns about a child’s health and wellbeing.
When young people and families require targeted interventions, these may be provided solely by the School Nursing Team or delivered in partners. They work as part of the Integrated Team approach in County Durham known as One Point.
They work in local schools and a variety of community venues including children’s centres, health and home settings.
