ncb | Health inequalities among young children across England

The first five years of a child’s life are critical to their future development. Based on official data published by Public Health England, this report looks at four key measures of young children’s health and well-being – obesity, tooth decay, injury and ‘school readiness’.
It provides a clear picture of the health of children under five years old living in England and shows how growing up in different areas of the country dramatically affects their lives.

An interactive map setting out health outcomes data for young children in all English local authorities, along with data tables, can be found at: www.ncb.org.uk
