Parents and school governors have an important role to play in
developing good health promotion practices in schools.
This section provides links to health promotion information and
guidance that parents and school governors may find useful.
Information is provided on the following topics:
The Young People in Wales:
findings from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC)
study 1986-2000 contains many sections that will be of interest
to parents and governors, including chapters on the school environment,
smoking, alcohol, children’s use of illicit drugs, eating
patterns and physical activity.
The Welsh Assembly Government has published an action plan in response
to this study.
Health
and Well Being for Children and Young People: Action in response
to the issues raised by the Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children
(HBSC) study 1986-2000
We recommend that parents and school governors interested in promoting
health in their children’s schools explore the other sections
of this web-site.
Please note that you may also be interested in the section on the
Welsh Network of Healthy School Schemes (WNHSS) on the Chief Medical
Officer Wales' website. Go to www.cmo.wales.gov.uk
