Meeting the Targets in The Health of the Nation

Explores the contribution that education can make to the key targets contained in The Health of the Nation. Describes a project to identify and make explicit the links that exist between the National Curriculum and the Health of the Nation targets. Provides extracts from a document intended for use by teachers, health promotion officers, and others involved in school health education, like school nurses and police, which suggests areas of the National Curriculum which contribute to health education. The document also makes it possible for teachers to approach the links from the opposite perspective, by examining how their programmes of study can make an impact on health education.
