Services will be designed and delivered in collaboration with school management teams and Young people; The You re Welcome Quality Criteria document (DH 2011) has been used in the preparation of these guidelines Government documents detail the need for accessibility of health services for Young people within high schools. School based open access clinics give the opportunity for Young people to access health care at their point of occupation (DH 2004). 1.4 Definitions and Abbreviations Fraser Guidelines : criteria outlined by Lord Fraser in 1985 in the House of Lords' ruling in the case of Victoria Gillick v West Norfolk and Wisbech Health Authority and Department of Health and Social Security (see references) SystmOne : Computer Health Record system NMC: Nursing and Midwifery Council. 2. Purpose 2.1 These guidelines will act as a guide to good practice for all school nurses providing an Open Access service in mainstream high schools across NCH&C.

11 Appendix A : (For School Nurses to provide information to Schools): School Nurse Open Access Information Sheet for Schools Your School Nurse is: name and qualifications It is widely acknowledged that Young people find it hard to access general health services in the community. This may be due to a number of factors such as fears and over breaches of confidentiality in local health clinics, transport and timing of clinics, or perceptions that the clinic is not for Young people School based open access clinics give the opportunity for Young people to access health care at their point of occupation (DoH 2004). The School Nurse is well placed to let students know about the services on offer, and the confidentiality boundaries in place. Every time the School Nurse is included in the delivery of PSHE, they provide a face to the drop in service, and as such the best inducement for Young people to use the service. Good practice features of drop in /School Based Health Clinic or appointment sessions are: Information has been prepared utilising the You re Welcome Quality Criteria document (DH 2007 updated 2011). Accessibility Young People are able to self-refer to the School Nurse or can be referred by School staff (by appropriate referral route,) or their parents. Drop-in s/school Based Health Clinics Clinic Appointments These are generally held during school break times within the school day. After schools sessions exclude those who use provided transport, or who access extra-curricular activities. At many schools where School Based Health Clinics have been launched, other agency workers may also see the Young Person. Therefore the Young Person has greater choice of professional they wish to access. When the support for Young People, is planned and regular appointments can be held during lesson time. The rationale being that if that Young Person has a concern on their mind, they are less likely to learn; therefore taking them out of lessons will not impact upon their education. NCH&C Page 11 0f 16 ver 2
12 Venue The school management and the School Nurse need to liaise to provide an area where confidentiality can be maintained, in a part of the school accessible by all students. Quieter areas of the school are most favoured away from busy corridors, which might be frequented by teachers and students. It is also good to avoid proximity to staff rooms, the Head Teacher s offices or detention rooms. Drop-in s/school Based Health Clinics Clinic Appointments For a drop-in adjoining rooms are ideal as students dislike being seen queuing on corridors to visit the Nurse or other agency representatives if in the case of School Based Health Clinics. Young people can self refer, or can be advised by school staff or parents/carers to see the School Nurse. Appointments can be booked by entering the Young Person s name on the booking form. The form is usually kept in a place where Young People can access it (for example a pupil reception). Any Young Person who attends an appointment in lesson time will be issued a permission slip to inform the teacher where they have been. (See below for examples of both forms). Confidentiality Students may choose to bring a friend along if they feel they need support, but this will alter the nature of the consultation. In such cases a follow up individual appointment is useful to enable the student to be more open about their circumstances, and for the nurse to ask more searching questions. The School Nurse starts every consultation with the ground rules on confidentiality with the disclaimer that information has to be shared in cases of suspected abuse (Working Together DfES 2006 updated DfE2013). Young people are reassured that in the event of information being shared, where possible, they will know who is to be told and be part of that process. Young People Involvement Young people will inform the provision of the service through consultation with school councils, peer groups etc in accordance with the You re Welcome Quality Criteria. Young People who have attended the service will be asked NCH&C Page 12 0f 16 ver 2
13 to complete an evaluation in order to inform future service provision. Parental Involvement All parents/carers are informed of the service in a manner to be negotiated with their child s particular school. Some schools have used a formal letter generated by the NHS, explaining the service. This letter can be sent home with the students at the start of each new school year. The letter should give details of who to contact in the NHS if there are any objections or for clarification of the service. Nurses may also wish to explain the service on the school website, or at parent/carer meetings. The Nurse is not required to seek parental consent for the Young Person attending clinic, as the Young Person has a right in law to access health services for themselves, however parental support, guidance and involvement is always encouraged. The 1985 House of Lord s ruling established the current guidelines that Young people under 16 years of age who are fully able to understand what is proposed are competent to consent to medical treatment regardless of age. (Gillick v West Norfolk and Wisbech AHA 1985). Service Offered includes, but is not limited to: Anger management advice and support Bereavement Bullying/self esteem issues Drugs/alcohol/smoking cessation Eating Disorders Emotional Issues/Self harm Intervention within the school system offers mental health services to Young people who might otherwise not obtain help. All School Nurses are qualified to assess emerging mental health issues such as self harm, depression, eating disorders etc giving support or referral to CAMHS or other therapeutic services accordingly. Students can receive advice on general health worries, support on bullying or relationships issues and even help to avoid or give up smoking (DH 2006). Information and leaflets on a wide range of health issues Managing a health condition in school Relationship problems (family, peers, partners etc.) Sexual health/contraceptive advice & suspected or confirmed pregnancy, advice and support - With regard to promoting sexual health, all School NCH&C Page 13 0f 16 ver 2
14 Nurses aim to help Young people acquire a range of skills such as negotiation, decisions making, assertiveness, resisting pressure and understanding the reasons to have sex within a relationship. School Nurses are further trained to be able to intervene clinically to address sexual health issues. Nurses with specialist additional training are able to dispense condoms after an assessment of the individuals needs and according to the Lord Fraser Guidelines. Emergency contraception can also be dispensed within the strict guidelines of a Patient Group Directive- a legal agreement drawn up at Trust /consultant level to enable the nurse to assess and dispense within a health clinic setting. Chlamydia screening and pregnancy testing may also be available. These additional services, which meet priorities within the Norfolk Teenage Pregnancy Strategy, are offered to schools after negotiation and agreement with the governing body of the individual school. The School Nurse can offer ongoing support to the Young Person and their family outside the school setting. In the event that a School Nurse is not able to deliver these additional services their role is then to signpost Young people to the appropriate agencies. In extenuating circumstances a School Nurse may accompany a Young Person to a health related appointment without the knowledge of the parents/carers (see Fraser Guidelines), following consultation with their line manager. In these circumstances the Young Person s wishes will be respected but they will always be encouraged and supported to inform their parents/carers. What the Service is not: The School Nurse cannot routinely attend to sick or injured students in school (although they will support school staff that are trained in this role as applicable AND respond in an emergency e.g. anaphylactic reaction). The School Nurse is not a trained counsellor and cannot enter into therapeutic counselling with students.
