3. Undertake health assessments in schools.
4. Participate in relevant case conferences and inter-agency meetings as delegated by the SCPHN, including health needs assessments and care planning.
5. Support the SCPHN in providing targeted support to children at risk or with complex needs, ensuring Partnership Plus plans are in place.
6. Identify, prioritize, and implement programmes of support responding to public health needs of the school-age population.
7. Conduct full assessments of individual public health needs and provide support or referrals, specifically in sexual health, smoking, and weight management.
8. Offer advice and support to children, young people, and families based on evidence-based practice.
