The school nursing team in your area can help you if you need advice and support about health issues or if you have worries and concerns and want to talk to someone about them. For example things like:
The school nursing team follow strict confidentiality guidelines. This means that unless you give permission, they will not pass on anything you say to anyone else, like parents, teachers, or other students – except in extreme circumstances like if the health, safety or welfare of you or someone else is at significant risk.
If they did need to tell someone about something you had told them, they would always try to speak with you first.
They can also help with signposting you to other services/support if we need to.
If you need urgent help, contact your doctor, visit a NHS walk-in centre or call NHS 111. If it is an emergency, dial 999 or visit A&E.
