The Hospital Education Service provides education for children and young people attending or admitted to hospital. One of the main roles of this service is to ensure minimal disruption to children's education during these difficult times.
This service is provided by Glasgow City Council and serves children and young people from 3 to 18 years of age from all local authorities in Scotland and, on occasion, from other areas in the United Kingdom. The service offers a range of interventions to support children and their families in addressing the additional support needs of children and young people with medical conditions and/or social, emotional and behavioural difficulties.
Janette Lennox is a principal teacher in the Hospital Education Service. Janette is based within Child and Adolescent Mental Health and has been involved in the development and running of a number of group-based interventions for both children and their carers.
