Introduction
Health visitors and school nurses
Your Health Visitor can help make sure that you have the right health support to meet your child's needs. If your child is at school, your school's nurse can also assist. Both these services are provided by the council.

Portage and pre-school home teaching
The portage and pre-school home teaching service is offered to young children with special needs. The service is available from your child's birth until they join a school-based nursery or reception class. The service can provide early years structured teaching and support parents and carers in promoting their child’s learning and development.
Your Health Visitor will be able to give you more information about this service.
