## Health In All Policies Self-Assessment Tool One Day Facilitated Self-Assessment

Public health made the formal transfer to local government in April 2013 and has made great strides in the last four years to tackle the wider social and economic determinants of poor health by moving into a phase of transformational change.

Success will depend on getting healthy 
policies embedded in all aspects of what  
a council and its partners do, this is what 
Health in All Policies (HiaP) is all about.

## Background

In 2015/16 the Local Government Association (LGA), in partnership with Public Health England (PHE) and the Association of Directors of Public Health (ADPH), developed a framework of questions to support councils in achieving a health in all policies approach, and ran five pilot projects facilitating councils through the self-assessment process. Following these pilots the LGA produced 'Health in All Policies: a manual for local government' to further support councils in understanding and adopting a HiaP approach. You can download the manual at www.local.gov
.uk/health-all-policiesmanual-local-government Our new HiaP self-assessment toolkit has been developed with PHE and ADPH taking into account feedback from the pilots and is aligned with the Health in All Policies manual.
