Nutrition and healthy weight are key contributors to future health and wellbeing for the whole family, and evidence demonstrates that this is a key public health priority (Early Years High Impact Area 4) throughout the life course, starting in the pre-conception period. It is therefore essential that those working in early years services are equipped to facilitate this work, and health visiting services are excellently placed to work alongside families to support them in making healthy choices.
The Healthy Weight, Healthy Nutrition programmes offer an evidence-based, holistic approach to upskill practitioners to be confident in having conversations with families around healthy nutrition from the pre-conception period onwards, physical activity and oral health – all of which are significant contributors to healthy weight.
We offer both a Champion and an Ambassador programme in Healthy Weight, Healthy Nutrition.
