Getting it Right for Children and Young People has been issued by the Department of Health as good practice guidance for local commissioners, providers and professionals and sets out a framework for school nursing services in the context of the Healthy Child Programme and the reforms of the public health system.
NCB has produced a briefing for NCB members that highlights the links to wider public health reforms; gives an overview of the new vision for school nursing, including the four-level model; sets out the expectations the guidance places on a range of local partners over the next year; and summarises the key actions that the document reports are being taken nationally to support this.
