The School Nursing Service takes a person-centred approach to ensure that children, young people, and families’ views are listened to, valued and respected. It is important that these views are considered when planning effective support around the individual needs of the child or young person.
We work closely with other partner agencies within the community, for example, education staff. This allows consideration of all factors which can impact on the child or young person.
