ChatHealth 11-19 (School Nurses)

- Information, advice and guidance
Description
A text service for young people to confidentially ask for help from a school nurse about a range of issues. This could include advice and support about emotional health, relationships, sexual health, drugs, smoking, and alcohol. The service is staffed by qualified school nurses, who have a wealth of experience of working with young people, and you don’t have to give your name if you don’t want to.
Disclaimer: this is not an emergency service; it operates Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm, and is only available by using a UK mobile number. Your messages are stored on our secure system, and can be seen by the School Nursing Team who run our ChatHealth Service. Although this is a confidential service, in the event of a safeguarding issue, the School Nurse has a duty of care to act on this, and may escalate the concern.
