All aboard the Toilet Train

Did you know that one in four children in England and Wales are starting school not toilet trained? To help reduce that number and support families who might be struggling, ERIC (The Children’s Bowel & Bladder Charity) is launching a summer campaign, All Aboard the Toilet Train, that aims to help more children get ready to use the toilets independently at school.   

Parents/carers are invited to ‘board the Toilet Train’ by signing up to the online challenge that will help prepare your child for school. You’ll receive information, advice and support throughout the summer to support your child in their journey.

Devon County Council runs a confidential secure text messaging service for parents of children aged 0-19 years called ChatHealth. The service operates Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm, excluding bank holidays. All texts will be responded to by a public health nurse (health visitor/school nurse) within 24 hours. Outside of the service working hours, you’ll receive a message back to inform you that your text will be responded to once the line reopens. You can also call our Public Health Nursing hubs on the numbers listed below.

If you are concerned about the safety of a child in Devon, contact our Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) on 0345 155 1071 or email mashsecure@devon.gov.uk with as much information as possible.
