Child Health in Schools

The physical wellbeing of our young people is a barometer of the health of our society. Efforts to ‘level up’ society must be centred on CYP and stop the conveyor belt of inequality that creates an adult population increasingly suffering physical and mental ill health. CAER is an advocate for public policies that address childhood health inequalities, and act early to identify risk and mitigate adversity with meaningful interventions. CAER brings partners together across health, education, and social care systems to remove health barriers to education, support children experiencing medical difficulties, and tackle the upstream determinants of ill health.
