Risk taking behaviour

School nurses offer support and advice to older students on a range of issues to promote a healthy lifestyle and reduce risk-taking behaviour.  The school nurse team can also work with parents/carers and younger children around keeping safe.

The School Health Nurse team can provide sexual health advice to young people so they can make informed safe decisions about their health, with up-to-date information on an individual basis

The School Nursing service is confidential.  You can discuss personal information in confidence.   We would only pass on any information in order to protect someone from serious harm. Whenever possible we would discuss this with a young person first. School nurses encourage young people to talk to their parents.
