School nurses promote equitable access to education for all children and young people. Our School Nurses work closely with the SENCO and other staff within the child's school, along with parents, specialist health professionals and other local children’s services, to develop, implement and monitor individual support and learning plans for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). School Nurses also support the individual health needs of children with SEN, for example with toileting, eating, etc.

Children and young people with SEND are supported in school by the SENCO and our School Nurse who will contribute to the Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) if appropriate, and also attend meetings with other professionals so that a young person achieves the goals set out in their EHCP.
