A Health Promoting College for 16-19 year Old Learners
Project Status: Completed
This report looks at whether Colleges of Further Education could be
appropriate environments to promote health and well-being among 16-19 year
old learners, and in so doing, promote social inclusion and raise
educational achievement.
The report examines:
what literature exists that shows how colleges and health have been
linked;
the policy and research content which would affect the implementation of a
healthy college standard;
what young people want;
examples of good practice showing what colleges have done and how this has
worked;
what a healthy college standard might look like; and
what challenges and barriers exist that might prevent the successful
implementation of a standard.
