Healthy Child Programme

The Healthy Child Programme is the national evidence-based universal programme for children and young people aged 0-19 and provides the bedrock of health improvement, public health and supporting families. The programme prescribes the use of holistic health assessment skills to establish where early intervention and preventative public health skills should be deployed, either directly by School Nurses or in partnership with other clinical and non-clinical agencies with the aim of improving health outcomes for children and young people.

There are no mandated reviews for school-aged children, however the Haringey School Nursing Service has developed a framework of evidence-based reviews to identify health and wellbeing needs, support behaviour changes and influence outcomes.
