Priority groups

During the process of identifying healthier behaviour outcomes you may decide you want to focus attention on specific groups of children and young people for one reason or another. Examples of such groups may include:

• Children in care
• Young carers
• Children with specific emotional or behavioural problems
• Children not achieving academically 
• Children who have been bereaved
• Gay, lesbian and bisexual  young people
• Children and young people who are overweight or obese
• Children who self-harm
• Children in military families

These may be the entire focus of your Healthy Schools Plus work or you may choose to involve the whole school, a year group or a class whilst also tracking the progress of these specific children as the work develops. It is entirely up to you to decide!
