The Welsh approach

Abstract

Describes how the Curriculum Council for Wales and Health Promotion Wales have joined forces to support health education in the country. Discusses the implementation of a number of projects involving examination of the opportunities for health education in primary schools and for slightly older age groups, as well as its co‐ordination within individual schools and its cross curricular implementation. Evaluates the effects of these initiatives on the school communities. Asserts that health education is an important part of the wider curriculum and hopes that the partnership will be seen by teachers as providing valuable support to their work in this field.
