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.
