What we aim to achieve

The aim is to improve the uptake of weight management services by families of children identified as overweight or obese.

The plan is to overcome barriers to current uptake, to co-design and pilot an innovative approach with families, and to assess the likely impact of rolling it out.

What we do

We apply core principles and key factors for family engagement and behaviour change. Based on these, we completely redesign the communication with families to something that is attractive and engaging for them. This is complemented by a crib sheet for any staff who might receive queries. The approach is then run in different ways in different primary schools to assess effectiveness. The results are then recorded, compared and analysed for uptake.
