Slide Sixteen

For the schools that choose obesity Bath and North East Somerset are suggesting that three areas are tackled: improving the amount of children walking and cycling to school; improving healthier eating and increasing the amount of physical activity within the curriculum and at after school clubs.

This is absolutely essential. If schools are to contribute to tackling obesity they need to work on calories out as well as calories in. If they don’t attempt comprehensive healthier behaviour outcomes they cannot be said to achieve SWHS Plus status.
