The local authority profiles are arranged into the five key areas set out in the Government programme Every Child Matters. They are designed to help local councils and the NHS decide where to target resources to tackle health inequalities in their local area.

These interactive profiles complement the APHO Health Profiles and are based upon the work undertaken by the Child Public Health Intelligence Team in the Eastern Region Public Health Observatory who produced static Child Health Profiles for the region.
These PCT profiles were developed by ChiMat with the Department of Health National Support Team for Infant Mortality and provide key indicators to help support the Implementation plan for reducing health inequalities in infant mortality: a good practice guide.

The Healthy Schools Programme has recently the Healthy Schools enhancement model which schools can become part of once they have achieved National Healthy School Status. An essential early stage is to undertake a needs assessment in order to identify priority health and wellbeing issues.
ChiMat has developed these Healthy Schools Local Area Profiles to support this needs assessment by presenting local data in a format that allows schools and local programmes to see at a glance how children and young people in their (top level) local authority compare nationally.

These interactive profiles are complemented by a static needs assessment report for your area which presents the same data in a tabular form with explanatory notes that can be easily read and printed.
When you view the needs assessment report, select 'top level local authority' from the 'select area type' and then choose your authority's name.
