POLICY

The main policy goal of the Children's Environmental Health Network is the development of sound, child focused, prevention-oriented public policy regarding environment and public health. To that end, we work with other national organizations on the issue, educate policy makers, develop materials, and provide technical assistance and information.

The Children's Environmental Health Network :
  • works to ensure that the proposed federal policies to protect children are actualized and implemented in a timely and effective fashion.
  • follows key legislation and policies that pertain to children's environmental health, such as the Food Quality Protection Act, the Clean Air Act and the Kid's Safe Chemicals Act.
     
  • brings sound science to discussions and debates, and educates and informs policy makers by bringing scientific and child health experts to the fore.
     
  • has developed a national Policy Committee, comprised of key environmental, health, and child organizations.
