Reception: Questionnaire from the School Nursing Team

Dear Parent or Carer

When your child starts school your child’s health records are transferred to the School Nursing Team from the Health Visitor and they will remain within the School Nursing Team until your child reaches 19 years of age. The School Nursing Team can provide you with help, advice and support on many of the physical and emotional problems your child may encounter throughout their school life.

This year we are working with The Lancaster Model to offer an electronic questionnaire, each web-based questionnaire will take about 20 minutes to complete. You can find more information here https://www.thelancastermodel.co.uk/parents-guardians/

In line with government policy, the School Nursing service aims to involve families and young people in how resources are effectively targeted in the future.  In order to achieve this, please complete the online questionnaire about your child’s health and well-being within the next 7 days, this can be accessed here https://derby.hapi-system.com/school-entry or scan this QR code

Please enter the following location password – Hardwick2 and then select your child’s school from the list

Although anonymous information from the questionnaire may be shared with other agencies to improve services, all personal information collected will be treated as confidential.  A member of the school nursing team may contact you following completion of the questionnaire to offer health advice, information and support if indicated.

As your child progresses through their school career your child will be asked to complete a further health questionnaire in year 6 and again in year 9.  You will receive a letter informing you about this nearer the time. By completing the questionnaire you not only help us to plan future services, but also ensure that your child gets the health and well-being support they need.

If you need to contact the School Nursing Team please contact the Central Point of Access on the number above, contact chat health on 07507327754 or email: dmh-tr.ChildFamily-Derby@nhs.net.     

Yours sincerely –

The School Nursing team
