We promote the health and wellbeing of children and young people with complex health, learning disability and additional needs who attend the specialist inclusion learning centres across the city.

We achieve this through working in partnership with children, young people, parents, carers, education and other professionals involved in their care.

Our aims are as follows:

• To promote opportunities for children and young people to be involved in all aspects of school life
• To work in partnership to support families where children are in need of protection
• To assess the health needs of children and young people with care plans
• To assess continence needs and action plans to promote continence
• To provide support, advice and information on health issues to children, young people, parents, carers, education staff and other professionals
• To provide training and mentorship to education staff, the voluntary sector, parents, carers, medical and nursing students
• To provide care for children requiring nursing support during their school day
• To promote healthy lifestyles within the home and school environment

Who’s it for?
