new child and family website (fwd)

[Linke, Pam (CYH)]

Laura - that looks really interesting thank you. I wonder if you would also
like to mention a new site we have just launched for 6-12 year olds.
www.kids.cyh.com  It was written from a survey of what children of this age
want in health and social health information and children had quite a lot of
input into the development including doing most of the graphics.
Best wishes

> I also planned and delivered an extremely rewarding -if tiring!- 1/2 day
