Primary Care Trusts
PCTs, Community Health Partnerships (CHP) and Local Health Boards (LHB) use our services to provide base-line data about the health related behaviour of young people in their area. Often, in partnership with other agencies, PCTs, CHPs and LHBs use the results to inform their programme and service planning.

Directors of Public Health often take the lead on the collecting of data for local needs assessment and health promotion and our services support their work including results in the Director's Annual Report.

The report 'Supporting the Health of Young People in Your Area' is an example of how the survey results can support your work and inform PCTs and other partners.

Topics in the example report include:

  • Citizenship
  • Drugs Alcohol & Tobacco
  • Emotional Health and Well-being
  • Healthy Eating
  • Physical Activity
  • Safety Sex and Relationships
  • Hygiene
  • Use of Medical Services

Examples of how our work has been used can be found here

Schools have been involved in our work since 1977 and they currently receive a comprehensive set of data and a comparative report about their own pupils.

This proves to be a valuable resource for curriculum planning and Healthy School initiatives.

Joint commissioning bodies often fund our work and include those working in PCT's, DATs and LEAs and other organisations

Repeat survey strategies provide further information as to the changing nature of the needs of the local population.

We may have conducted school health surveys in your area and would be pleased to discuss how we can support your work with young people.
