Parents & Carers
The following message is from the School Health Team:
The Immunisation team has scheduled clinics throughout the summer holidays to ensure that children can catch up on any outstanding immunisations, including the MMR vaccine. In light of the increasing cases of measles, we will be offering additional clinics. Please encourage parents and carers to reach out to the team to book an appointment at a time and location that works best for them.
(Please see Sefton Summer Clinic Dates file below)

In recognition that families of children and young people with complex needs and special educational needs often need a bit more support, we have launched a Social Care Advice Line for SEND. We know that many families would like to avoid the intrusion of a social care assessment for their child but parent carers and professionals sometimes don’t know what the other options are to get help. This advice line is staffed by two experienced social workers with a good knowledge of the Local Offer in Sefton. We are inviting parents or professionals to use this phone number to find out more about what a social care assessment for a child entails to help families make an informed decision before approaching social care, and to talk about what other help might be available. Voicemails will be responded to within 7 days at which point the social worker will return the call for a discussion.
The telephone number for our Social Care Advice Line for SEND is 0151 934 2196.
We will not create a referral or record any family details when families or professionals ring us for advice using this phone number.
