Healthy Colleges, A study and report into how Further Education Colleges can promote health and well-being
by Richard Escolme, Kathryn James and Nicola Aylward – September 2002
Project Status: Completed
Further Education Colleges could play an important role in promoting health among its students as part of social inclusion, improvement in health and well-being strategies. This report explores the benefits of developing Further Education Colleges into Healthy Colleges and considers what changes are required in order for this to happen. The existing National Healthy School Standard, which offers a model and guidance for schools to follow in order to improve the health of pupils and staff, provides the report an initial framework that is analysed in the context of the concept of healthy colleges. Colleges have access to a population of a significant size. They are more complex institutions than schools and contain a wider age range, a much broader curriculum and learning can be distance or on-line, all these factors are highlighted and need taken into consideration when developing Healthy Colleges.
