Children’s charity Barnardo’s have linked with other organisations in a scheme to boost childhood health.

The charity has joined forces with the UCL Institute of Health Equity and three integrated care systems throughout England in the ‘collaborative’ which will aim to influence local government and NHS decision makers on how to provide effective care.

The local integrated care systems in Birmingham and Solihull, Cheshire and Merseyside and South Yorkshire will tackle the health challenges facing the children and young people in each area.

Insights from young people will be gained through face-to-face workshops and digital communication channels so that they can have a say on the issues which matter the most to them.

Barnardo’s director of health Rukshana Kapasi said: ‘Through this Collaborative, we hope to identify and provide practical solutions to these issues in a way which embeds the voices of children and young people into all we do.

‘We look forward to helping to ensure that children and young people can any overcome negative circumstances they may be born into and enjoy happy and healthy futures
