The “Children and Young People” sub-domain focuses on the foundational aspects of health and well-being among the younger population in Derbyshire. This includes early years development, school attendance and attainment, teenage pregnancy rates, and engagement of young people in education, employment, and apprenticeships.

The early development of children sets the stage for their future health, educational achievements, and social integration. School attendance and academic success are closely linked to long-term health outcomes, with higher education levels generally correlating with better health. Addressing teenage pregnancy is critical for both the health of the mother and child and has broader social and economic implications. Furthermore, ensuring that young people are engaged in education, employment, or training (NEETs) is vital for their personal development, future employment prospects, and overall well-being. These indicators collectively provide insights into the health and well-being of children and young people, guiding efforts to support and empower this demographic.
