Growing Healthy Wakefield 0-19 Children's Service
The Growing Healthy Wakefield 0-19 Children’s Service provides health visiting and school nursing support – working with children, young people and their families to ensure that children have the best start in life and can fulfil their potential.
Health visitors are qualified nurses or midwives who have completed specialist training in child health and development. All preschool children are entitled to support from a health visitor.
We provide a service to all children and young people of school age, and their families, whether they are attending school or not. We offer advice and information and assess health needs on children entering school and on transfer to secondary schools. We are the first point of contact for schools when there are concerns about a child’s health and wellbeing.
