DCC Public Health Nursing has launched a new website to provide school age children and their parents/carers with health and wellbeing advice. The websites developed with Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, includes evidenced based national content which has been co-designed with parents, carers, children and young people as well as locally written content and information about Devon services.
Health for Kids provides information for primary school aged children and includes games, videos and quizzes. The site consists of four different worlds: Staying Healthy, Illness, Feelings and Getting Help. Each world is populated with different areas for children to learn about their health.
