EYFS School Nursing Vision & NCMP Information

Information from School Health Nursing Team

Dear Parent/Carer,

Now that your child is starting school, we would like to welcome you and your child to the School Health Nursing Service.

Your Health Visitor will have passed your child’s records to the School Health Nursing Service but we would like you to complete the enclosed Health Questionnaire so that we have an up-to-date picture of your child’s health. This will enable us to support any health needs that may affect your child’s learning or school attendance. Also attached is an opt-out form for the Vision screening and The National Child Measurement Programme.

The aim of vision screening is to help identify a child with a possible vision problem and refer them to the specialist services for further tests if needed. More information about the hearing and vision screening can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/653434/vision_screening_parent_leaflet.pdf

The aim of the National Child Measurement Programme is to develop a better understanding of children’s weight by collecting information from across the country. Children are weighed and measured fully clothed (except for shoes) and all information is treated confidentially. More information about the National Child Measurement Programme can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/national-child-measurement-programme

More information can be found at School Health Nursing – CCHP | Community Children’s Health Partnership

Please read the forms and return the consent form and health questionnaire to the School Nursing Team via email by Monday 20^th September 2021

If you have any questions, please contact us on the number at the bottom of this letter.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Kind Regards,

Vicky
