Description
In recent years, schools in the Argyll and Clyde Health Board area have been active in the development of approaches to improve the health of young people. In 1990, the Health Board funded a major project on the development of the Health Promoting School. This resulted in intensive support being offered to secondary schools. Latterly the project work broadened to include some associated primary schools. This "cluster based" approach has many benefits since the development of the Health Promoting School results in work which focuses on establishments, not only as centres of learning, but as workplaces, and includes issues such as staff health and well-being. The role of the wider community, parents and health and caring services are seen as critical elements.
