In summary, the School Nursing Service is a service for all children between the ages of 5 and 19 which aims to increase the health, well-being and safety of children and young people. This will be achieved by working in partnership with children and their families offering a range of interventions that include, parenting advice, advocacy and public health promotion.
The Public Health Outcomes Framework and NHS Outcomes Framework clearly define a range of outcome measures that are significant to the school-aged population.
School nursing teams lead and contribute to improving the outcomes for children and young people but are not solely responsible for achieving these and there needs to be a partnership approach. School nursing teams need to work with a number of partners including health and social care teams, teachers and youth workers to deliver the evidence based public health interventions as outlined in the Healthy Child Programme (5-19), and using the core principles of Making Every Contact Count for intelligent, opportunistic interventions.
