Parents in Derby city with children in their first year of school are getting the chance to improve the School Nursing Service. We are asking these parents to complete a health and well-being questionnaire, based on a national model called The Lancaster Model. Below are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the questionnaire, and our answers.
The School Nursing Service aims to involve families and young people in how resources are effectively targeted in the future. This year we are working with The Lancaster Model to offer an electronic health questionnaire to help us to achieve this. You can find more information here at the Lancaster Model website
By completing the questionnaire, you will not only help us to plan services for the future for all children, but also make sure your child gets the health and well-being support they may need as early as possible.
Questions are asked about various important health-related topics, including medical problems, emotional health and wellbeing, lifestyle choices and lifestyle behaviour. For example, you will be asked if your child has a long-standing illness, or how often your child drinks plain water.
Each web-based questionnaire will take about 20 minutes to complete.
The School Nursing Team will see the answers and may contact you following completion of the questionnaire to offer health advice, information and support if required.
Although anonymous information from the questionnaire may be shared with other agencies to improve services, all personal information collected will be treated as confidential.
You can text a member of the School Nursing Team on the chat health number 07507 327754.
