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 teachers, 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.

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/content/schools/wnhss-e.htm to find out more.

You can also find an information leaflet for teachers about young carers by clicking here.

A young carer is someone under 18 whose life is restricted because of the need to take responsibility for a family member due to sickness, disability, mental health and alcohol or drug problems.

Further detailed information about all carers can be found on the Welsh Assembly Government's Carers Online website at www.wales.gov.uk/subisocialcarers/
