Reducing childhood obesity as one of 3 priorities within the 'Start Well' children and young people's theme of the 2019 to 2024 Health and Wellbeing Strategy. The current Child Healthy Weight action plan 2022-2025 plan was developed with wider partners, reviewing the data and evidence of what works nationally and regionally. The Action Plan recognises the important part played by the wider system in reducing obesity as set out in the national guidance and includes a range of actions that will make it easier for children to stay a healthier weight. The Child Healthy Weight Steering Group which includes a range of partners in Merton will lead on ensuring this plan is delivered with reporting through to the Children's Trust Board and Health and WellBeing Board.
