Caradon District Council targeted Health and Wellbeing as one of its main priorities

 Government target was to improve public health, tackle

obesity and increase participation in activity by 2012 

(2004) Choosing Health: Making Health Choices Easier - identified a significant opportunity for health promotion

within the workplace

There was no robust evidence available to suggest that concentrated health promotion would be an effective

and viable investment for businesses

We value the health and well being of our employees and so we encourage and support mothers to breastfeed.

We enable mothers to continue breastfeeding when they return to work from maternity leave.

HEALTH PROMOTION

We work closely with Cornwall PCT pharmacy campaigns so staff get the same health messages at work as they do when they enter any pharmacy in Cornwall.

HEALTH POLICIES

We have linked with a local counselling charity to provide staff with continued counselling for as long as they need.
