Standard Statement

Rationale

Achieved

Action Plan

The school nursing service has made a significant contribution to making the pilot New Community Schools a success.

All schools will adopt the New Community Schools approach by 2007. This requires an integrated approach to planning and service delivery for school aged children and young people and their families.

In order to achieve this transition, joint planning and service development is required at all levels.

  • Nurses working in schools are regarded as core members of the New Community School team and actively involved in planning and management groups.
  • Public health practitioners and school nursing leaders are involved at strategic level in the planning and development of New Community Schools.
  • Effective links are made between planning processes within the Education Authority, the LHCC and NHS Board to ensure a coherent approach to rolling out the New Community School concept.
  • The school health plan agreed with the school forms a key part of each school's development plans.
  • Effective links between the school, the school nursing service and the LHCC ensure an integrated approach to planning and delivering effective services.
