Written with the help of Camden Council, this IHE report provides a summary of the social determinants of health for children and young people in Camden.

The report paints a rather bleak picture of a divided borough, where the middle class have largely left the borough, leaving the very rich and those with some level of deprivation and fertility rates are falling with schools closing as a result. Particular areas of concern are raised around the negative impact of material deprivation and high levels of overcrowding on health and educational outcomes, and the impact of a high proportion of children living with someone with a long term medical condition or disability.

Published in May 2025, the report's audit is based on a framework developed by IHE and Barnardos (The Child Health Equity Collaborative Framework) that sets out those areas of life and experience that are particularly important to children and young people's outcomes. In addition, the report reviews changes to the population of Camden between the two last censuses.

Nationally available data was reviewed, as well as qualitative data from children and young people themselves, data from GP surgeries in Camden and previously published reports.
