National Network

The Scottish Health Promoting Schools Unit (SHPSU) established the National Network in 2003 to facilitate the flow of information on health promoting schools between national and local levels, between schools and councils, NHS boards and other key agencies.

The network plays a central role in the sharing of good practice across Scotland and in the development of future national advice. The network has representatives from each council and NHS board in Scotland and is made up of officers with responsibility for health promotion in schools. 

It is convened several times a year and reports of network meetings are posted on the Health Promoting Schools website.

Local representatives on the National Network are important points of contact for schools and all those seeking information about health promotion in schools as well as access to local health promotion networks. 

Find your local network member using our Network contacts search where you will also be able to find contact details for your local health promotion and education departments.
