Who are we
We support children and young people attending Medway schools from their first day of primary school up to the age of 19, including those who are educated at home.
We focus on promoting the health and wellbeing of school-aged children. We can offer support and advice on many areas including:
- Healthy lifestyles and growth
- Emotional wellbeing
- Toileting
- Sleep
- Behaviour
- Managing long-term conditions and complex needs in school
- Healthy relationships
- Puberty and growing up
- Staying safe and much more.
Our leaflet provides more detailed information on the support we can provide and the
referral criteria. We have a good working relationship with other services in Medway and can help signpost and refer you to services to better meet your child’s needs. You can find our referral forms at the bottom of this webpage.
You can find lots of helpful information to support your child's development, and keep them healthy and safe in our Kent Child and Kent Teen sections.
