Health support services

The NHS core provision offer to schools (PDF, 513 KB) outlines the services available from NHS professionals to support the health needs of children in schools. It outlines the range of commissioned specialist advice, training and support available to school staff and the direct therapy interventions that are available for children and young people (CYP) within mainstream and complex needs schools.

It also provides information on additional advice, training and support that schools can commission independently, should they wish.

And it provides a framework to underpin safe practice for school staff in providing care to pupils within the school setting.
