HealthLit4Kids: Supporting schools to be health literacy responsive organisations.

Using the HeLLOTas! Self-Assessment Checklist served a dual purpose. Teachers developed a shared understanding of the characteristics of a health-literate organisation to produce a schoolwide action plan. Simultaneously, we gained valuable insights into the processes required to support the development of organisational health literacy in schools, and we share ten propositions applicable to other schools locally, nationally and internationally. SO WHAT?: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a school's health literacy responsiveness has been measured. Our key propositions will support future efforts by policy makers, researchers and school principals.
