Health

We have many aspect of co-located work with our health partners.  All of our schools have a school nurse allocated to them.  Penponds primary school work closely with their school nurse to give an element of multi-agency response to low level preventative work in the school.  This has supported an improved relationship with the parents and community around some aspects of health.

Our PACT project is a joint education and health project. See their pages for further information and the recent excellent results of their work.  This work will be rolled out during the next three years as part of the Transitions work and other work as part of the Parenting strategy. 

The third aspect of our links with health involve the Primary Mental health strategy.  This includes the training and development work started by Sandra Stewart. She is also gradually getting a team of staff around to support rolling out preventative work.
