The lovely nurses BDCFT School Nursing Special Needs Team and Public Health School Nursing are piloting toilet training workshops to help families of children and young people with SEND.

Children with SEND may take longer to achieve toilet training and need more support. The nursing teams can help you to create a consistent, positive toileting journey for your child.

This is great news 👏

‼️Important announcement!‼️

We are pleased to announce that, following a successful recruitment period and expansion of the team, we are now able to offer further support to families in Leeds. We appreciate you bearing with us during this time while we’ve been training new staff members and restructuring our service.

Support we can offer includes: school meeting support, EHCP applications, help to prepare for mediation, and tribunal support.

Please be aware that cases will be considered for this type of support on a case-by-case basis and will be initially triaged by our dedicated team. We operate a 5 working day response time and are not a crisis service.

You can get in touch by leaving a voicemail, sending an email, or submitting a web enquiry to our service.

Thank you.
