CHEX training: Prevention in action through community-led approaches

This article was featured in the SCDC Weekly - 9th September 2026

This one-day training course will explore the vital role community-led health plays in Scotland’s drive to embed prevention at the heart of health and wellbeing policy.

The new Programme for Government, as well as the Population Health Framework, Public Service Reform agenda, and the Health and Social Care Renewal Framework all position prevention as a clear and critical priority in how we deliver public services.

Community-led approaches to health are key to developing this policy agenda in a practical, sustainable and an effective way that we know makes real positive change happen across our communities.

Delivered by experienced community development practitioners and facilitators, this interactive training will lay out the current strategic and relevant policy drivers and provide the information you need, and valuable advice on the practical ways you can use this approach in your role, to join the drive for change in how Scotland's services are delivered.
