Every school in Dorset has a named school nurse, who maintains regular contact with their school to promote healthy lifestyles and offer practical advice, information and support. The team has links with other health professionals including community paediatricians, health visitors, GPs and speech and language therapists. School nursing teams have a public health role in working with school aged children and their families, aiming to promote health and well-being. We encourage healthier lifestyles and provide information, advice and support to children and their families. The team is committed to safeguarding all children and young people and adheres to the pan-Dorset Safeguarding Children Partnership guidance. The service sits within the Children and Young People’s Public Health Service 0 to 19, alongside **[health visiting](https://www.dorsethealthcare.nhs.uk/healthvisiting)**.
