Our Priorities

Improved health and sense of well being

What will this mean for Staffordshire?

All Staffordshire's people will benefit from equality of opportunity and access to the resources they need to improve their health, well being and quality of life. 

Our citizens will be encouraged to lead healthier, more active lives and make healthier choices.

The emotional health and well being of the most vulnerable members of our communities, especially our vulnerable children and older people will be improved. 

Our county's older people will be empowered to live independently and have greater choice and access to the services they need and want, as well as being provided with opportunities for employment and education.

For details of how we will achieve this priority please see

Staffordshire's people tell us what 'Improved health and sense of well being' means to them:

"Young people should be educated about being healthy in a practical manner; words mean nothing; keep it simple. The way we teach people needs to be different; I'm Islamic and for me it's about making sure it fits with my culture and information about being healthy is targeted in the right way. It's also about engaging parents as well as children, so they're more aware and take an interest in these things" (Zia). Last Modified: 30/06/2009 15:22:18
