Public affairs

Our public affairs work seeks to establish us as the authority on child health matters in Westminster. Using members' on-the-ground experience, we engage with Government, MPs, Peers, their staff, the civil service and wider stakeholders to make the case for policies that will improve children and young people's health outcomes.

How we influence

Ensuring decision-makers introduce the best public policy for children and young people is an important part of our work. Find out more about our approach to influencing.

Our work on the UK General Election

The election took place on 4 July: the results are in, and the College will make sure the new Government and opposition parties prioritise paediatrics and child health. 

Our manifesto had set out recommendations which we believe will improve child health outcomes. These include to prioritise child health services, support the child health workforce, promote the prevention of ill health and tackle climate change.
