Health Issues in School
This section of the web site will give you lots of information on the existing initiatives which Glasgow City Council has in trying to look after the health of the children and young people of Glasgow.
Sexual Health and Relationships Curriculum
Glasgow’s Young People’s Sexual Health Steering Group (YPSHSG), a partnership between Glasgow City Council and NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, has been established to devise and implement an effective strategic response in relation to young people’s sexual health and well-being.
Health Promotion
All schools within Learning Communities are working towards achieving the status of ‘Health Promoting School’. This is a Scottish Government Initiative, in relation to the important role that schools play – working with partners and with communities – in health improvement. They have now placed a requirement on every Local Education Authority to implement the new Schools (Health Promotion and Nutrition)(Scotland) Act 2007 that came into force on 3rd January 2008
The establishment of Learning Communities offers a framework for improved local connections, local planning, service development and decision-making with opportunities for integrated working across children’s services partners. These developments will in turn provide greater opportunities to improve outcomes for children, young people and their families.
