Overview
Birmingham City Council would like your views on the proposed School Health Advisory Service. The School Health Advisory Service will address physical and emotional health issues which can prevent children’s and young people’s full attendance at school and/or joining in lessons or activities.
What are we trying to achieve?
We want to maximise the health and wellbeing of children and young people in Birmingham by enabling them to attend and benefit from lessons and activities in school. If they participate in school they are more likely to achieve their potential.
We are proposing a new model for the School Health Advisory Service in Birmingham. Our proposed priorities for the service are:
• Helping children to attend school even if they have medical problems
• Helping to find health problems early
• Giving early help to children with health problems
• Safeguarding children
• Helping children who may need special help
• Helping children to be a healthy weight
• Helping children with emotional problems
• Helping children who may have a problem with drugs, alcohol or smoking
• Helping growing children with relationships, including sexual health
Why your views matter
Reasons for remodelling current services
The current School Nursing Service, including the mandated National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP), is delivered by a single NHS provider. The scope of the current service has developed over a number of years. However, there are some schools that do not get a regular service. In addition, there is evidence from local work suggesting the service needs to be more visible and it needs to change how and from where it supports pupils and families.
We have a responsibility to secure the highest quality service outcomes at the best possible price, and it is unlikely there will be any additional finances to extend a School Health Advisory Service. We are, therefore, proposing a new model that aims to focus on identifying and reducing any health issues that get in the way of a pupil joining in with lessons and activities.
Thank you for your time. The information you provide will be kept confidential and used only for the purposes of the proposed School Health Advisory Service.
