School settings are key to promoting good health and in May 2017 we published a School Nursing Framework for Wales which sets out the Welsh Government’s framework for a school nursing service for children and young people that is safe, accessible and of a high standard.  The Framework aims to proactively build on the current school nursing service and extend good practice to all school age children and young people.  In particular, the all Wales Standards for NHS School Nurses for the Promotion of Emotional Well-being and Supporting the Mental Health Needs of School Age Children, sets standards for NHS School Nurses to ensure they are competent in supporting the emotional well-being and mental health of children and young people attending educational establishments.
