Thank you for supporting the NHS School Health Team with the uptake of The Lancaster Model (TLM) Questionnaire ‘School Readiness and Wellbeing Review’

The questionnaire was initially sent directly to parents/carers in September and covers health and development, identification of health needs (both physical and emotional) and offers support.

They have responded by asking us to share additional information to support parents of young school age or rising 5 children. We hope you find this helpful.
