Health Needs Assessment is a online questionnaire about health, wellbeing and lifestyle behaviours which is completed by a parent/carer for reception aged pupils and by pupils themselves in year 6 and again in year 9.
The questionnaire assesses the emotional as well as physical health and wellbeing needs of children and young people and therefore includes a number of themed areas including body image, substance use, healthy eating, temperament and bullying.
The questions are simple and non-intrusive, however will alert your school nursing service to any concerns your child may have with a view of intervening early to prevent concerns developing.
