Virgin Care have asked us to confirm that

School Nurses DO NOT send text messages

as their first contact with parents.

If you receive a text message requesting

information about your child from anyone

purporting to be a School Nurse, please

DO NOT engage.

This has been reported to the Police and

has been confirmed as a hoax.

To check the validity of any request received,

please contact the Essex Child and Family
