Improving health through the home: a checklist for local plans and policies

The right home environment is essential to health and wellbeing, across the life course.

This checklist, produced by Public Health England, helps people in the public health system to review local plans for health and wellbeing, to see whether they have considered and planned for the effect of homes and housing circumstances on health. The guidance accompanying this checklist provides more information about sources of support, types of plans that the checklist can be used to assess, and how to approach the review process.
