Public Health
Last updated:Public Health is the science and practice of preventing disease and ill health and prolonging and promoting good health and wellbeing. The Public Health team are part of Buckinghamshire Council, while still maintaining close links with the NHS and other health providers and partners. A key part of its work is promoting the health and wellbeing of children and young people; supporting families and professionals to provide them with a good start in life and equipping them with the resilience and skills they need to flourish.
Public Health has created pages on SchoolsWeb in direct response to the request from schools to provide a co-ordinated and concise approach to school health and wellbeing. It includes information and resources on:
- Information on local and national health related campaigns
- PSHE Support
- Emotional Wellbeing
- Drugs and Alcohol
- Healthy Eating
- Physical Activity
- Sexual Health
- Smoking and Vaping
