Early Years

Improving health outcomes and fostering a healthy start for children and families is a priority both at a national level and for Glasgow City HSCP. Many childhood experiences can impact on health and wellbeing, educational attainment, and future life chances. Examples include: 

  • Access to greenspace.
  • The extent of parental support.
  • Play and physical activity opportunities.
  • Exposure to parental stress, neglect and abuse.
  • The level of parental interaction during the early years.

We have included some key information on priority health topics for Early Years below. Further information can be found on the Public Health Scotland website. Click here  to access it.
