School Support for health

From Buckinghamshire Council (Public Health Team) – Buckinghamshire Healthy Schools
As Public Health suggest “this zone provides information about areas of health and wellbeing for teachers and staff working with children and young people.” Though it is intended for teachers and staff, it provides some useful local links which are updated by Public Health. Buckinghamshire Healthy Schools | SchoolsWeb

From Buckinghamshire Council – SchoolsWeb
Schoolswebs provides information for schools on health services supporting schools. The information is also helpful for families because it explains the range of support available and how the school can refer children and young people directly to health services including the local community paediatrician and the local child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS) without needing to go through a GP practice.
