NHS Barnsley CCG : Engagement Event for Health provision for Children and Young People in Barnsley Special Schools with Special Educational Needs and Disability.

Engagement Event for Health provision for Children and Young People in Barnsley Special Schools with Special Educational Needs and Disability.

The Children's Paediatric Community Nursing Team (provided by Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust) provide care and support for children from birth to 16 years old in their own homes, working in collaboration with both general practitioners and hospital staff. This team consists of a number of specialist nurses and supports children/young people and their families with a wide range of conditions, including children with special needs who need specialist support.

From a Children's Community Nursing (CCN) team perspective they will support any child, regardless of the school they attend, who needs a nursing intervention providing they are actively on the CCN's case load to undertake a review of the child or if a procedure needs to be carried out.

There is however a further need beyond the remit of the CCN Team to support all children and young people with both SEND and a medical condition educated in a specialist school in order to assist them in achieving their full potential. The service specification outlines the additional health provision to be provided to all such children and young people in the borough of Barnsley, focusing initially on those children attending Greenacre school (including Greenacre Satellite schools) and Springwell Learning Community but evolving to support similar children and young people in mainstream schools within Barnsley.

A market engagement event will be held on 15th September 2020 at:

Covid-19:

Social distancing will be adhered to as far as is reasonably practicable during the presentation. As the school is a busy environment there may be occasions whereby the tour of the school brings passing contact with children, young people and staff. Attendees can bring their own face coverings if they wish. Hand washing and sanitising facilities are available.

Additional information: Attendees are requested to sign in at main reception on arrival where they will be escorted to the meeting room. If we could collect telephone numbers and contact details of confirmed attendees before the event that would be very helpful please as it would help with any 'Test and Trace' requirements.

Unfortunately, on this occasion refreshments will not be provided given the increased cross contamination risk, attendees however can bring their own drink if they wish.

The room has a maximum socially distanced capacity of 15 individuals, including presenters so please confirm your attendance as early as possible. Given the Covid 19 measures we have restricted attendees to one person from each organisation.
