Details
These papers show evidence for interventions on social issues that lead to poor health, including ways to deal with health inequalities. You can use them to get practical tips for dealing with these issues. They also show examples from local areas showing interventions that have been used to improve health. The series includes eight evidence reviews and 14 short briefing papers.
The documents can be used by:
- local authority professionals whose work has implications for health and wellbeing, such as children’s services and planning services
- local authorities - particularly directors of public health and their teams - to build health and wellbeing strategies and Joint Strategic Needs Assessments
- public health teams making a case for action on health inequalities
- health and wellbeing boards making local public health strategies, including those covering service areas with health implications such as Local Plans and Growth Plans
For more information about health inequalities and ways to remove barriers to public health services, the National Conversation on Health Inequalities explains how local authorities can raise awareness about the need for health equity in their communities.
