State of Child Health &Us 2018: Views from the RCPCH &Us network

This special report brings together views of children, young people and families looking at key themes from our flagship report. These include poverty, mental health, communication, PSHE (personal, social and health education), LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) and children’s rights.

This report is based on sessions, challenge days, projects, consultations and events with over 1,000 children, young people and family members in 2017, responding to our State of Child Health report.


In March 2020, RCPCH published our latest State of Child Health, including Voice matters, written by a team of youth authors (aged 11-22) and with insight from hundreds of children and young people around the UK.
