There is a strong commitment to improving the health and well-
being of children, young people and adults in Merthyr Tydfil
County Borough Council. The Authority works closely with schools
and the Health Authority to ensure that children and young
people develop the knowledge and understanding, skills,
capabilities and attributes which they need for well-being now
and in the future. There are strong links between health, well-
being and achievement. It is particularly important that pupils’
health and well-being is enhanced at key transition points in
their lives. The Authority supports schools in working with our
young people, especially our most vulnerable, to promote their
health and well-being through and beyond the curriculum. Aspects
of a broad and balanced curriculum that promote health and well-
being include: - Personal, Social, Health, and Economic
education - Physical Education - Emotional Health - Sex and
Relationship Education - Drugs and Alcohol Education. Merthyr
