Children's perspectives rarely appear at strategic levels in public health. Policy‐makers can hold adult‐centric assumptions about children, and may be uncertain about how to interpret and apply children's perspectives in policy. Yet how children experience and perceive health interventions can shape the success of services. What, then, might child‐centred approaches to health policy consider? Through ethnographic work in New Zealand, I document how children engage with a school rheumatic fever prevention service, and provide a framework of three lenses through which policy‐makers can more meaningfully consider children's perspectives on health: (a) The embodied‐child; (b) the social‐child, and (c) the public‐child
