The Healthier Together website and mobile app provides trusted evidence-based NHS advice to help families and schools manage children’s health effectively. The Network is inviting applications from both community organisations and education settings to become Healthier Together Champions to maximise access to Healthier Together for families in your communities, encourage parents and carers to use the website and app to support their children’s health and wellbeing, and help promote Healthier Together through your social media and other communication channels.
Education settings
Offering clear guidance on when a child is well enough to attend school, the platform helps reduce avoidable absences and promotes consistent attendance. It supports school staff by giving access to reliable information for managing illness in the school setting and communicating clear return-to-school guidance to parents. The website also offers practical support for managing long-term conditions, helping children stay healthy and engaged in learning.
Incorporating Healthier Together into the school’s attendance and health policies promotes wellbeing, consistency, and stronger partnerships between families, schools, and healthcare services.
