Tackling Childhood Obesity

The latest figures from the National Child Measurement Programme (NCM) indicate that almost a quarter of children are overweight or obese by the time they start primary school and more than a third are by the time they leave.
Taking a new approach to tackling child obesity, ‘Healthy Lives, Healthy People’ (November 2010) outlines the Government’s commitment to improving children’s health and well-being through placing stronger emphasis on prevention and evidence-based approaches to drive behavioural change.
This special symposium offers an invaluable opportunity for local authorities, schools, health services, leisure services and other key stakeholders to:
* Consider the progress made in tackling childhood obesity in recent years
* Explore the next steps in curbing the rise in obesity to help establish healthy habits for life in every child
* Examine how to work in partnership to target high-risk groups of children and deliver tailored interventions
* Consider how to better engage and support parents, promoting a ‘whole family’ approach to being happy and healthy
