An uncertain future for health education
Abstract
Considers the impact of the termination of the Grants for Education Support and Training for health education on the future support of health education in schools. Discusses the results of a national audit of healthy alliances between health promotion units and local education authority schools. The results of the survey showed that specialist health promotion units are enthusiastic about collaborative partnerships with education, but that the axing of the GEST‐funded advisory posts has militated against such initiatives. Demonstrates that relationships between local education authorities and health promotion units have been difficult since April 1993 and are now much more competitive. Concludes that alliances between health and education have an uncertain future.
