School Nurses give friendly, confidential advice to support your health and wellbeing and to help you make good choices for a healthy future. They can help with anxiety, low mood, exam stress, self harm, sexual health, relationships, puberty, Immunisations, eating Issues, and more.

Our School Nurses run confidential drop in sessions within secondary schools, which young people can visit to ask questions and seek support for their physical and emotional health. To find out information about your school's drop in session, speak to a teacher, or well-being lead who can give you details, or look out for our posters around your school.

When you meet or text with your school nurse and discuss your worries they will not share information (without your consent) with anyone. The only exception to this is if you disclose something that makes the school nurse think you may be at risk of significant harm. We would always encourage you to share your worries with a parent / carer if appropriate.
