THE HEEADSSS ASSESSEMENT FRAMEWORK – AN INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS
In January 2024, a number of parents received a letter from the Public Health Nurse for Child and Youth Health at Te Whatu Ora, advising that the government had allocated specific funding for an “extra health and wellness check” to be offered to all Year 9 students (aged 12-13yrs) using the HEEADSSS Assessment Framework.

As a result of concerns raised by these experts, this report was produced.
