NCB has a long and strong history in pioneering health work for
children and young people across life stages, backgrounds and in a
range of settings in which they live, learn and play. NCB is
expanding thinking and practice on health beyond the traditional
avenues, promoting it as the business of everyone working with and
for children.
NCB's health work focuses on four priority areas:
1. Reducing health inequalities
Ensuring children and young people who are disadvantaged
receive the support they need to live healthier lives
2. Prioritising children within health systems and
structures
Ensuring children's health needs are considered and
delivered in a coordinated way
3. Promoting healthier lifestyles
Helping children and young people to actively pursue
healthy lifestyles and encourage others to do the
same
4. Supporting the voluntary sector
Building the capacity of voluntary sector organisations
to improve children and young people's health
"Health is about feeling good on the inside, looking
good on the outside, and getting the most out of
life"
