Haringey Public Health commissions Whittington Health NHS Trust to deliver a prevention and early intervention School Health Service to young people in mainstream schools. During September a school nurse will meet with an appropriate member of staff in each school to discuss the support the service can offer over the new academic year. To enable the smooth running of the service, all mainstream schools are asked on an annual basis to:
- complete the school health profile and return to PublicHealth@haringey.gov.uk by Friday 18 October 2019. The aim of the profile is to identify the public health needs of the school population in order to prioritise and plan interventions from the School Health Service.

- sign the school health delivery plan and return to PublicHealth@haringey.gov.uk by Friday 18 October 2019. The service delivery plan outlines the school health provision and schools’ responsibilities in enabling the service to operate in an efficient and effective way.

Primary schools only, in addition to the above:
- disseminate the child health questionnaire: Schools are asked to provide parents/carers of children in Reception and Year 6 with a questionnaire about their child’s health. This is essential to enable the service to identify the individual health needs of pupils at an early stage and respond to their needs in a timely way. The completed questionnaires should be returned to the school for the School Health Service to collect.
