Children and young people


Improving the health and well-being of pregnant women, children and young people is key to increasing the overall health of the population and to reducing inequalities. Those in special circumstances or at risk of social exclusion such as children with disabilities, children in care and young offenders are a particular priority.

Below are resources relating to health inequalities which have been organised at both a regional and national level. SEPHO has published resources related to children and young people, which can be seen in the regional resource table.
