BDCFT Youth Justice Nursing Team

Welcome to BDCFT Youth Justice nursing service, we offer health assessment to all children involved with the Bradford youth justice service.

Who we are. 

 Sarah and Carly make up a small team of specialist community nurses that support any children who find themselves involved with the youth justice service.  

We offer a face-to-face health assessment where we can chat about any health issues or concerns you may have. We aim to find out if any extra help is needed with health and give you advise or refer to other services. 

We support children in making sure they are getting the help they need with their physical, emotional, and mental health.  

We offer support and advice about  

  • alcohol and drugs
  • Stopping smoking
  • Hearing test
  • Safe sex advice, including free condoms (C Card scheme) and testing for some infections that can be passed on through sex (chlamydia & gonorrhoea).
  • Support with how you feel if someone close to you has died or is dying
  • Support with self-harm, depression, or anxiety
  • Support with conversations around gender, sexual attraction, and orientation
  • Keeping healthy – for example sleep, exercise, knowing how to check your body for any signs of serious illness and healthy eating
  • Support you receiving your routine childhood immunisations
