Special School Nurses

What we provide

We provide high quality nursing care to children and young people who are in schools or other community settings.

We work in designated special schools across Oxfordshire, to enable all children to access education regardless of their health needs. We also work to ensure that these health needs are met while children are in education.

We do this by:

• Assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating children’s health needs
• Training, advising and supporting school staff with health tasks and care that a child may need during the school day. We provide training under the Oxfordshire Shared Care Protocols
• Working with health, social care and education agencies to make sure that every child’s needs are met
• Promoting a healthy lifestyle, empowering children and families to make healthy choices
• Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, including working with parents and carers to support them with advice and information, as well as signposting to relevant agencies.
