Healthy Outlooks

Welcome to Healthy Outlooks - NCB's programme that targets children and young people most at risk of health inequalities. We carry out a range of projects that focus on children and young people who are vulnerable to health inequalities - including children and young people who are 'looked after' or leaving care, those caught up in the criminal justice system, and those who find themselves homeless or vulnerably housed.

Healthy Outlooks aims to develop and share effective practice amongst practitioners who work with children and young people vulnerable to health inequalities across these settings. We aim to:

• promote a more coherent approach to health promotion across the different services that work with vulnerable children and young people
• explore and share evidence about 'what works' in promoting the health and well-being of vulnerable children and young people
• build consensus about policy and practice issues that need to be addressed to fill gaps in health services and support for vulnerable children and young people

We do this by:

• running a number of discrete projects;
• producing a free bi-monthly e-newsletter;
• organising seminars and events;
• producing practical resources - many of which are available to download for free on this site.
