Barnardo’s -
The Children and Young People’s Health Equity Collaborative (CHEC) is a partnership between the UCL Institute of Health Equity, Barnardo’s and three integrated care systems (ICS) — Birmingham and Solihull, Cheshire and Merseyside, and South Yorkshire. The CHEC sees action on the social determinants of health as essential in improving health outcomes among children and young people and reducing inequalities in health. The framework’s main purpose is to underpin action for achieving greater equity in children and young people’s health and wellbeing and will be used to support the development of pilot interventions in the three partner ICS areas.
