Public Health England publish new information/advice for schools

The National Child Measurement Programme is focused on tackling childhood obesity in England. Local authorities have a statutory responsibility for delivering the programme, and school participation is voluntary.

This new advice, from Public Health England is aimed primarily for school leaders, school staff and governing bodies in state-maintained schools and academies. It may also be useful for local authorities and parents. It explains the purpose of the programme and what schools can do to support delivery of the programme locally.
